The past week has been a marathon of measuring, designing, 3D printing and electronic assembly. It just seems to take a lot of effort to make custom projects look nice and clean, but if it is going in a kitchen, it really needs to be pretty clean. This video shows assembly of all this work - it is very rewarding when everything fits well.
Here the Spice of Pi packaging is assembled and I'm testing its ability to find and dictate recipes.
Here are a few more random tests of Google Assistant - it is amazing how well it understands what I am asking.
Fooling around with Google Assistant is a lot of fun - even when it messes up.

All the individual subsystems are working and packaged - now we need to add some software and tune the whole system up.
This my the tenth blog and twelfth video, so the blogging requirement milestone is accomplished, but the key demonstration of the full system is still to do.
The next steps I need to tackle are testing the servo circuit cards, making a servo power cable and testing the full system. This is going to involve programming....
