This past week has been exciting as we have made a significant amount of progress. Our code is now fully functional and our final bottle model is nearing completion. The transition from paper cups to a water bottle required a few slight code alterations, as the thicker plastic walls made the capacitive sensors less sensitive to changes in water level.
This video shows our code working on a paper cup. The LED is set to blink every 10 seconds if water is not consumed (it will probably be 1 hour in our final model). The LED turns off/timer resets if the water level goes down.
Some process photos of water bottle construction:
