Description and links for components for the BarTender system of weighing items for ingestive behavior experiments.

Check out the video walkthrough.

The system comprises 3 apps:

  • BarTender : Macintosh app that interfaces via serial cable to a scale, allowing scanning and weighing of bar-coded items such as water bottles and food jars across an experiment. Data is stored locally and in Google Firebase database.
  • PointOfScale : iPad app that interfaces with a Bluetooth scale, allowing for weighing of animals across an experiment. Integrates with BarTender data in the Firebase database.
  • BarTab : Web app that retrieves and displays the Firebase data in any browser.

Source code is available via a GitHub meta-repository.
