I'm trying to figure out how to control the flow of liquid from a bottle (2 liter bottle maximum). I've already picked up some solenoids (from seeedstudio Electric Solenoid Valve [SWT133B2B] - $8.50 : Seeed Studio Bazaar, Boost ideas, extend the reach), only to discover that the pressure of the water isn't enough to get through the opened solenoid.
I'm thinking of two possibilities now:
- Add pressure. Not sure how to accomplish that.
- Change tactics. Possibly using a servo to tilt the bottle down and up. I've never used a servo yet, so I don't know how exactly to hook it to a bottle, which size servo to get, or any of that.
Any better ideas?
