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.

Ideal Software

Android

Cooking Apps

• https://www.sidechef.com/
• Allrecipes
  • This application has been crashing when scrolling to bottom with mouse. Need to test with touch screen to see if crash occurs.
• Flavorly: This is the application installed on the GE Kitchen Hub

Experience Improvement

• Some kind of split screen functionality. Currently apps have to support this, but maybe there's another way?

Commercial Products
