Overview

Goal is to create a kitchen computer for displaying recipes.

Raspberry Pi 4
SD Card
Touch Screen Monitor That works with linux: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBLFOY4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Microphone \ Speakers
Keyboard and mouse for initial setup

Wifi Camera pointing down over oven range
Heat Tolerant Camera for inside of oven (not sure how this would work, can't be wifi cause of faraday cage aspects of oven)

LineageOS (Android): https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi4/LineageOS16.0/
- Note, do not follow instructions telling you to wipe after installing gapps. This will cause the lineageOS to startup in a mode that pops up the unregistered device notification that can't be closed, preventing you from getting to terminal and running the command to retrieve the GSFAID.
Raspian

Via terminal, created multiple users in case someone wanted to login to their recipe\gmail\etc accounts.
Set Appearance Settings to "Very Large." We want it in this mode to make buttons easier to click with finger.
Added an icon to bring up Matchbox-Keyboard to top bar. Currently you have to touch this icon each time you want to use the on screen keyboard, it does not come up automatically when you select a text field, like it does in Windows or Android.
- Improvement Idea: Rasbian might not have been made with touch interface in mind, but another distro like Linux might auto bring up the keyboard. This user experience improvement would be worth evaluating a different linux based OS.

Install Matchbox-Keyboard
- On Rasbpian Desktop Toolbar, add keyboard application
VNC Server (for remote maintenance without having to stand in the kitchen)
Created Desktop Icon for a shell script that will quickly open the Appearance Settings configuration panel. Sometimes after reboot the display reverts to normal.
Chromium web browser (comes installed with Rasbpian)
- Cooking Theme for Aesthetics, adds no additional capabilities
- Recipe Saver (Free version lets you save up to 50 recipes, paid version is an unreasonable $9 a month. I would rather Save a webpage to PDF (which Rasbian can do) than pay $9 a month).
- Print to PDF Capability (Comes with Rasbian) for saving recipes locally.

Gmail for emailing yourself links ( we have ours logged into a shared account so that visitors can't access our personal accounts ).
YouTube for cooking tutorials
