Smart Coaster

Introduction
How many times have you made a cup of coffee or tea and it’s been too hot to drink, and then by the time you get to it, it’s become too cold? :(
I love drinking tea and most of the times I have burned my mouth. :mad:
My Solution:
A Smart coaster to place your cup on, a coaster monitoring the temperature and notifying you before it gets too cold.
If you place a cup of hot tea/coffee on it, it will start a timer program which shows you, when it is ready to drink. A RGB led will be present to show if the temperature is right or not.
I am using Thermo 6 MAX31875 click board as it would be the perfect solution for this project due to the low power consumption.
If you go through the code i have explained everything in detail and you will know that this prototype device can not only be used to monitor your hot beverages temperature but also can be used to monitor the temperature of cold beverages so that you will always enjoy your drinks at optimum temperature and be happy!! ;)

  • MAX31875 Typical Application Circuit:-

  • MAX31875 Power Consumption:-
The MAX31875 is a low-power temperature sensor whose average power supply current is affected by the conversion resolution and the conversion rate. Understanding the relationships between these values can help to optimize performance tradeoffs.
In Standby mode, and between conversions, the power supply current is typically 500nA. During a conversion, the typical supply current increases to 80μA. The duration of a conversion depends on the conversion resolution selected in the Configuration register. A 10-bit conversion requires 35ms (typical). Each 1-bit increase in resolution doubles the conversion time, and each 1-bit decrease halves the conversion time. Therefore, if 12-bit resolution is selected, the conversion time will typically be 140ms.
The conversion rate is also selectable, and, along with resolution, helps to set the conversion duty cycle and
average power supply current. As an example, 10-bit
conversions occurring at a rate of one conversion per second will result in an average power supply current of
IAVE = 80μA x 0.035 + 0.5μA x 0.965 = 2.8μA.

  • RGB LED (Common Anode) Typical Circuit:-
For this project I have used 330 ohm resistors for each R, G and B pins of the RGB Led.

As you can see all the components from regulator to the microcontroller and sensor consume low power. Atmega328p was used due to the ease of programming via the Arduino IDE and also you can program it to consume extremely low power. :cool:
I have also added battery monitoring feature if the battery level falls below 20% our rgb led will go through yellow, cyan and purple colour when you start your device to notify you that the battery is low. :cool:

Maxim has a nice video tutorial on this thermo 6 click board:-
https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/analog/sensors-and-sensor-interface/MAX31875.html

Now they have made a tutorial using their microcontroller programmed via mbed so i searched the repository and got the following code which was edited to work with Arduino boards:-
