| ===Concept===
| |
| These smart containers are a response to all the rotten food, unnecessary purchases, and special cravings you've ever had. Now you can see what's in your kitchen from wherever you are, just by checking your smart phone. <br>

|
| |
| ===Product Function===
| |
| The manufactured product would have a short-distance sensor and wifi chip embedded within the lid of the container. The wifi chip would send the data of the container levels to the wireless local area network, which would upload it to internet. This info could then be accessed remotely with any web-enabled device by logging into a secure account. <br>

| ===Code===
| |
|
| |
| ====Arduino====
| |
| <source lang="java">
| |
| int sensePin = 1; // infrared sensor to analog pin
| |
| int value; // value coming from the sensor
| |
|
| |
| void setup() {
| |
| Serial.begin(9600); // start the serial port
| |
| }
| |
|
| |
| void loop() {
| |
| int value = analogRead(sensePin); // current value of the sensor
| |
| byte scaledVal = map(value, 0, 600, 0, 255); // rescale to send as one byte
| |
| Serial.write(scaledVal); //print the distance
| |
| delay(100); // arbitrary wait time
| |
| }
| |
| </source>
| |
|
| |
| ====Processing====
| |
| <source lang="java">
| |
| Serial myPort; // variable for the serial
| |
| import processing.serial.*; // reads information coming in through the server via Arduino
| |
| int incomingVal; // incoming number value
| |
| int r; // example
| |
| int b; // example
| |
| int q; // example
| |
| int o; // example
| |
|
| |
| void setup(){
| |
| size(255,255); // visualization window size
| |
| myPort = new Serial(this,"/dev/tty.usbmodem411",9600); // my Arduino port
| |
| }
| |
|
| |
| void draw(){
| |
| background(0); // background black for visualization
| |
| while(myPort.available() > 0){
| |
| incomingVal = myPort.read(); // while new data coming in from Arduino, store in variable
| |
| }
| |
| float reVal =map(incomingVal, 51, 255, 0, 255); // rescale the incoming value to the depth of the container
| |
| fill(reVal); // fill the visualization with the rescaled incoming value
| |
| rect(0,height - reVal,width,height); // draws rectangle of the incoming value
| |
| println("Flour:" +(reVal)+ " Sugar:" + r+ " Oats:" + b+ " Pasta:" + q+ " Millet" + o ); // incoming value to be seen in console
| |
| PrintWriter output = createWriter("data/data.tsv"); // send info to external file
| |
| output.println("Flour:" +(reVal)+ " Sugar:" + r+ " Oats:" + b+ " Pasta:" + q+ " Millet:" + o ); // directs which information to be written to new file
| |
| output.flush(); // write the info
| |
| }
| |
| </source>
| |
|
| |
| ====PHP====
| |
| (Gets the data from an automatically uploaded file from desktop)
| |
| <source lang="php">
| |
| <?php
| |
| $file_handle = fopen("data.tsv", "r");
| |
| while (!feof($file_handle)) {
| |
| $line = fgets($file_handle);
| |
| echo $line;
| |
| }
| |
| fclose($file_handle);
| |
| ?>
