Kitchen Computer/Alternatives

This page holds ideas for alternative approaches to building a kitchen computer.

Attempted

Android on RasberryPi

After Action: Apps did not run ideally, Some would come up in portrait mode and could not be changed. Some would continuously crash. If I were to come back to running android on a touchscreen, I would get a USBC dock and a phone that supports USB OTG and use that as the hardware instead of a raspberry Pi.

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?

Brainstorm

• Strap an old USB-C android cell phone to the back of a touch monitor, and use USB-OTG to display on the touch screen.
  • Unknown: Will the touch screen register as a mouse click on the phone?
  • Will the touchscreen's audio be registered as a device on the phone?
