schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>This is a hexagonal spice storage box divided up into six individual compartments. Four buttons on the front of the spice box let the cook select a pre-programmed recipe. The edges of the corresponding compartments will then light up in green, indicating that they’re necessary for the recipe. For example, a tikka masala chicken marinade recipe might illuminate turmeric, cumin, chili powdJun 21 08:34
schestowitz[TR2]er, and garam masala. </p>Jun 21 08:34
schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p> An Arduino UNO Rev3 board makes this possible. It monitors the buttons to determine which recipe was chosen, then triggers the appropriate RGB LED strips to guide the user as they prepare the meal. </p>Jun 21 08:34
