Beagleboard Kitchen PC – Some pictures…
Since several people asked me to show some pictures of the kitchen PC now I took the time making some pictures of the current state of the kitchen PC.
It is mounted on the wall in our kitchen in a Proof-of-Concept case now. The pictures show the current state of the GUI which will be reworked in the near future. Means I am already in progress redesigning the graphical frontend. The last three images give a preview on the new design. But enough of the words … now have a look at the pictures of my beagleboard driven kitchen PC.

Nice looking project!
What software are you using for the UI?
19:23 on May 13th, 2011
thanka!
The ui is completely self programmed in Python, PyGTK and so on. The next post will be about the application.

nice! which display do you use for that kitchen helper?

It is some sort of no-name display. In linux it reports as eGalax device. I use the evtouch touchscreen driver to make it work.

I’m creating a similar computer designed for the kitchen except mine will be built into a toaster. I have a question regarding your design.
How are you powering that screen as well as the BeagleBoard? Do you just have two adaptors or some sort of splitting system? My screen runs on 12v and I’m not really sure how I can get 5v to the BB and 12v to the LCD with just one adaptor.

Good question. I had the same problem but found no inexpensive and good solution for the power supply problem. At the moment I use two power supplies.
According to the documentation he BB can be powered by USB without dedicated power supply. But i’ve never tested this. Maybe this could be a solution.
Please let me know when you got a solution for that. And I would aso be interested in any news about your project.
