First I would like to thank everybody for their wonderful support on our first DrinkShield. We have officially sold out of stock. You can still get some of the drink shields at maker fares or directly from Maker Shed. In celebration we are creating a new version of the DrinkSheild. This one is geared to be more hacker friendly. The firmware is backwards compatible with rev 1, however there are now breakouts for all the pins on the arduino. Just like rev 1, this board uses the same pins and can work with a usb host shield but now you can more easily expand and use different sensors, etc. We also added solder pads to help tack down the LEDs along the side of the board. With revision 1 it was possible to mount the light bar along the side of the board but they would bend up if bumped. Hopefully this new design will let you tack them down to add stability in this configuration.
The current design has been uploaded to the SVN repo and a proto board has been sent out to BatchPCB. If all works out and test well I will put in a new large batch order for more PCB boards.
