Linkit One Kitchen Timer

In this instructable I’m going to show you how to design a kitchen timer using the Linkit One, the timer has a maximum duration of 30 minutes. And once the timer is done counting down it fires a buzzer to notify you. The time interval can be set in steps of 5 minutes and each led indicating 5 minutes. You can also increase the maximum duration by adding extra LEDs and go up to a maximum of 50 minutes due to the limited number of pins on the Linkit one.

Step 1: Tools and Components

All the components you require for this instructable are –

  • Linkit One
  • 6 Leds
  • Push Button
  • Buzzer
  • Jumper wires
  • Breadboard
  • 10k resistor

Step 2: Circuit

The circuit is quite simple and all you need to do is follow the picture above. There are six LEDs and each LED indicates a 5 minute interval. By adding additional LEDs to the remaining digital pins you can improve the maximum duration of the timer circuit.

Step 3: Code

Copy the below code and paste the below code in the Arduino IDE and then select a suitable COM port and upload the code to the Linkit One.

const int buttonPin = 2;     // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin const int led2Pin = 12; const int led3Pin = 11; const int led4Pin = 10; // the number of the LED pin const int led5Pin = 9; const int led6Pin = 7; const int led7Pin = 6; // the number of the LED pin const int led8Pin = 5; const int led9Pin = 4; const int led10Pin = 3; const int speakerOut = 1;// variables will change: int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status int tastyTimeVariable = 0; // my time variable that has 1 added int i; int n;void setup() { // initialize the LED pin as an output: pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(led2Pin, OUTPUT); pinMode(led3Pin, OUTPUT); pinMode(led4Pin, OUTPUT);

Step 4: Finishing

After uploading the code find a place to set it up in your kitchen and when its time to cook you can click the button multiple times to set the time duration. Each click represents 5 minutes (1 click = 5 minutes, 2 clicks = 10 minutes).
