cook. Ugh. Just ugh. This project needs a better name - puns encouraged and welcome!

If I choose your suggestion according to the completely arbitrary criteria of "I like it the best", I will assemble and ship a working raspberry pi sous vide system to you. You pay for the parts and I pay for the shipping (in the US only, sorry!). You'll also be a contributor.

FWIW, even at this early stage performance is extremely good - +- 0.5C from target temperature using a crockpot as the sous vide vessel, which is kind of blowing my mind.

Ideally you'd be moderately familiar with the pi (or at least linux) to make using this easier, but it'll pretty much be "connect to your network, reboot and go to the web interface" simple. I can't promise that every edge will be smooth, but I can promise that it's super hackable and that it works pretty damn well with an analog crockpot or hot plate attached.

Please comment with your suggestions below.

Love this idea. What are some of the unique qualities or goals of this project thus far? Do you have a circulator pump as part of the aparatus?

djcp commented 9 years ago

@cwmoriarty This project ends at turning your heating vessel on or off - I'm using a crock pot but I have tested a hot plate as well to be able to heat larger vessels. If you wanted a circulator, then I'd say that'd be a pretty easy thing to drop into your vessel and doesn't really need to be smart or controlled by the pi.

@cwmoriarty As to goals - let me get that into the README officially. Unofficially, the goals for the first release:

Create a nice web interface on the LAN that lets you control an accurately managed sous vide session
Document the hardware config to make it easy to replicate for moderately technical users
Implement tooling to make it as easy to set up as possible, software wise - ideally one or two commands.

After that I'd like to improve the UI / UX when all the guts are working.

I had a couple ideas on the train:

pisenberg - a Breaking Bad reference that ends up being super appropriate because this is a thing that controls cooking. Maybe spelled "piesenberg"?

pi cook - like a fry cook

Yea, I've helped my brother with a setup involving an un-controlled circulator (from a fish tank, actually). Just wondering some idiosyncrasies to your design that might lend itself to a good, punny name.

(also, I love Pisenberg). Pisenberg's certianty principle!
