eggculator

An Arduino-based device which calculates the time required to cook an egg.

Hardware

Required components:

• Arduino
• 16x2 LCD with I2C interface board
• 3 buttons
• DS18B20 Temperature sensor
• 4.7k Resistor eggculator_schematic.fzz contains schematics on how to wire up all components.

Software

Required libraries:

• LiquidCrystal_I2C (http://www.electroschematics.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Liquid-Crystal-Libray-Download.rar)
• Bounce2 (https://github.com/thomasfredericks/Bounce2)
• OneWire (https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/OneWire)
• DallasTemperature (https://github.com/milesburton/Arduino-Temperature-Control-Library)

I recommend to read http://www.electroschematics.com/12459/arduino-i2c-lcd-backpack-introductory-tutorial/ to correctly set up the LiquidCrystal_I2C library.

Usage

1. Start boiling water.
2. Power up the Eggculator and put the temperature sensor in the water.
3. Weigh your egg and measure it's temperature (or estimate. Usually around 8 degree C out of the fridge).
4. Feed your Eggculator with the appropriate numbers and select a texture you like.
5. Setup your kitchen timer with the time calculated by the Eggculator.
6. Enjoy! :)
