Today there is only a small update: Last Sunday I posted a video with temperature data overlay but it had a little problem because the camera data was a little bit delayed. Now I fixed this. I used threads and created an extra thread which ...

After success in the installation OpenCV and building Block set, now we will prepare the messenger tool for the basis of communication between user and provider. In this project we consider to use Whatsapp based messenger since the library for this i...
Base and Platform:I decided that this machine could mostly be built out of wood. My father-in-law owns a cabinet shop, so I just used scrap pieces and built it there. For the base, I wanted to use a box, but the one I found was pretty heavy and bulky...
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. Th...
Goal: Super-de-dooper range hood. My range hood will be smarter than your range hood (i.e. a smart, connected appliance above the stove to remove fumes, take images of dinner for my wife to summon me, and do other cool things too!) See Blog Post #1 ...
Raise your hand if you have ever left the stove and/or oven on after rushing out of the house, or you were just too excited eat the masterpiece you just created... This happens to the best of us, and it could potentially be very dangerous. To make ma...
So last week i posted about producing the base for the arm which would provide the rotation. I had intended to make the rest of the arm this week but i have only managed to make a single joint. My original plan for the first joint is as follows:I fol...
Today I only want to give a small update on the function to read out the data of the temperature array of the grid-eye sensor. Until now I read out the data of one sensor pixel at once (which is 2 bytes) and then switch to the next pixel. This is a l...
Camera mountAs I already mentioned last week I manufactured a camera mount, where the Raspberry Pi camera and the Panasonic Grid-Eye sensor are mounted close together. Here is again the foto of the installation: The idea was to overlay the...
The Goal - Imagine your stove had a magical device hovering above it to help you see what you're cooking and possibly save your life...? i.e. a Smart Range Hood which monitors air quality, checks what's on the stove and can turn on the fan and l...
I still have more mechanical packaging to do, but I want to start transitioning over to electronics and software since there are only a few weeks left to complete the project.I have been setting up the Raspberry Pi to use Google Assistant so the syst...
Hi guys, this will be a short update blog, I'll be showing the small board i soldered up for the amplifiers and other stuff that may be needed in the project as well as the way I am using 2 load cells per amplifier. The plan for the full shelf is...
Bake Mate - Pi Chef Blog #8 - The software needs a little more cooking Status Update:I managed to get most of it to work! There are a few non-critical bugs, but it works well enough. Picking up from yesterday's post Bake Mate - Pi Chef Blog ...
Before I post my mechanical build, I realized I should have already posted about the design. In my introduction post I explained the basics of my mechanical design. Here I'll go into the details. The Automatic Dough Shaper consists of...
Bake Mate - Pi Chef Blog #7 - Code Prep Status Update:I got back to working on the software, which is something I've been avoiding the past few weeks (I got distracted with the hardware!). I made pretty significant progress over the past few day...
In order to cut the dough into shapes, my project uses an XY plotter type of set up. The platform will move back and forth as the Y axis and the cutting head will sit above the platform and move across the platform perpendicular to the Y axis motion....

So unfortunately i didn't make a post last week. While i was trying to get the parts printed i started having some problems with the 3D printer I was using. During the print layers would start offsetting as the print got further. The following im...
