• Recipe Data

  After cleaning the recipes up and assigning time to each step, the data is up on Github and Firebase. The former won't update, but the latter will if we add anything to it.

• Electronics

  We decided on the electronics for the project and the way they would affect the functioning of the product. It is shown below, we also specified the components and have ordered those we did not have already.

  We would like to finish this project ready for demo in May 2017. There are three aspects: software (an Android app), electronics (a PCB/or perf board) and casing (3D print).

  Software

  We looked for food recipe APIs that we could use for the project, but could not find any that were useful to parse for the information we needed. Our project required getting the steps for cooking a dish, as well as the timing for each step.

  Moving on, we decided on two recipes to use for this demo. The plan is to build on this later. The recipes are:

  Jollof Rice: http://www.kitchenbutterfly.com/2012/12/19/preparing-for-christmas-nigerian-stir-fried-jollof-rice

  Fettuccine Carbonara: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/42585/fettuccini-carbonara/

  We will adapt both to use in the app.
  

  Casing

  There are different pot sizes, and manufacturers often make up their sizes as they go. We decided to use these 7 as our standard: http://www.seriouseats.com/2011/01/equipment-the-7-most-essential-pots-and-pans.html

  And only design for those 7 pots.
