Diseño e implementación de un prototipo de control para cocinas de inducción a traves de un smartphone utilizando Android y hardware libre.

Abstract

In the present work, a prototype for the induction cooker control by a smartphone with Android operating system was designed and implemented, through an application in App Inventor. To make this prototype, the structure of induction cooker was analyzed, especially the communication board that it is inside, from which date were obtained that served like referent in the elaboration of code for ARDUINO MEGA 2560, responsible for the data encoding that come from the cooker and temperature sensors DS18B20 and of smoke MQ135, and the interpreting information for the viewing of mobile application. For this design, a web server was created with the module Arduino Ethernet Shield to which was assigned an Ip fixed address, for accessing in wireless way to the application that controls the cooker. For this prototype, various tests were carried out in different programs: Docklight, Proteus, Arduino, Brackets HTML, and Editor. The tests showed the prototype is reliable in the collection of two-way communication, besides the collected data from the sensors help to avoid possible fires in the kitchen. It is concluded that through the prototype elaboration is possible to turn on, turn off, up and down the potency of burner, besides monitoring the temperature and presence of smoke. It is recommended to acquire a higher bandwidth to 3Mbits/s and a greater reach router.
