HACKING A COFFEE device FOR A much better BREW

Senseo coffee makers are automated brewers that utilize coffee pods. [Ronald] had one, however wasn’t satisfied with the high quality of the coffee it produced. His service was to hack it apart as well as develop his own automatic coffee device with the innards.

The coffee brewing part of the system is managed by an ATmega8. This reads the temperature utilizing the NTC sensor from the original device as well as actuates the different parts of the Senseo machine, as well as the added grinder. The timing was all done by trial as well as error, optimizing for the very best cup of coffee.

Keeping with the pattern of adding Raspberry Pis to everything, [Ronald] linked one to this develop for remote control. He runs a extremely hacked version of LCD2USB which offers with interacting with the RPi. An Apache web server holds a PHP script to offer a individual interface, which runs a C program to tell the system to begin brewing.

Unfortunately, [Ronald] didn’t provide us a link to his web interface, so we can’t remotely brew him coffee. nevertheless he did offer all of the source for the job in his compose up.
