Oatmeal Maker Machine
This capstone design project aims at introducing an oatmeal maker machine designed to simplify and enhance the breakfast preparation process. Our solution is composed of three main components: the ingredient dispenser for precise oat measurement, the cooking module for heating and cooking the oats, and the cooling system utilizing Peltier technology. The process begins with user authentication via Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. Upon successful authentication, milk is dispensed automatically through a servomotor-controlled valve. Following this, a measured quantity of oats is dispensed through a slide mechanism. A DC motor then activates the stirrer for consistent mixing. The user can select the heating duration, with a minimum of two minutes. After cooking, the stirrer retracts, and strawberries are dispensed in a similar manner. The Peltier cooling system quickly brings the oatmeal to an optimal serving temperature. Users can interact with the oatmeal maker through a mobile application to view cooking status, adjust settings, start the cooking process remotely, and receive notifications. This technology offers significant value by providing precision in ingredient measurement, customization of cooking preferences, and convenience through automation and remote access, ultimately promoting healthy eating habits and saving time for users.Project Details
