Overview

Goal is to create a kitchen computer for displaying recipes.

Alternative Approaches

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

Raspbian

Usability

• Install Matchbox-Keyboard
  • On Rasbpian Desktop Toolbar, add keyboard application
