Pi Chef Design Challenge: Bake Mate #2 - Unboxing and a closer look at the ingredients parts
Status Update:
- I've almost finalized the JSON format that will be used to store the recipes.
- I've almost finished writing a Python module that contains functions that convert units. ninjatrent's post saved me a few searches.
- Successfully tested the method that will parse the JSON file
- Working on a rough layout of the program & program flow: the different screens and what they'll contain.
- I setup the Raspberry Pi today (installed Raspbian), and installed the kernel drivers required to make the 2.4" display HAT work. Will cover this more in detail in the next blog post.
Unboxing:
A (big) box arrived:
Contents are well protected by crushed packing paper:
A cloth bag containing goodies:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
In the box: Safety guide, Quick Start Guide & a very nice paper packet containing the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
Raspberry Pi: Broadcom BCM2837 (Quad core ARM Cortex A53 @ 1.2Ghz), 1GB RAM, Wifi, BLE, 4 USB ports, 40 pin GPIO & microSD card
Sense HAT
In the box: Safety guide, plastic standoffs & Sense HAT
The Sense HAT has a 8x8 RGB LED matrix, mini joystick, a gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, temperature sensor, humidity sensor & barometric pressure sensor.
PiFace Digital 2
32GB Raspberry Pi NOOBS microSD card
Camera V2 (8MP)
In the box: Safety Guide and the camera module (Sony IMX219 - 8MP stills and 1080p30, 720p60 or 480p90 video)
International Power Supply (5.1V, 2.5A)
Explore NFC Expansion board
2.4" Touch Screen HAT
This is a 2.4", 320x240 display with a resistive touch panel. It doesn't use the normal display connector, but relies on a SPI connection to display the output that is normally sent to the HDMI port. The touchscreen uses I2C.
