[hide]Overview
Goal is to create a kitchen computer for displaying recipes.
Hardware
- 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
Stretch Goal Hardware
- 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)
Operating System Candidates
- 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
Installed Software
- OS: Raspbian
Usability
Configuration
- 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.
Software
- 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.
Commercial Products
Products that offer similar experiences
- GE Kitchen Hub (available for kitcen hood and microwave). Expensive, over $800
