FunToast: Image-Toasting Toaster Project

FunToast aims to create a toaster that can toast images onto bread, making toast more engaging. The project utilizes digitally controlled heating elements to bring digital images on flash memory into reality on toast. The prototype involves technical specifications like AVR components, SD/MMC Mini Board, and nichrome wire. Desktop application requirements include converting image files to a toaster-readable format.

  2. Concept and Motivation • This project is aimed at building a toaster that can toast a given image onto bread. • The toaster toasts the images on flash memory into reality via a moving array of digitally controlled heating elements. • The aim of this project is to make toast more fun. A piece of bread with an image toasted on it is much more interesting than just plain toast.

  3. Competitive Analysis ZUSE Toaster Scan Toaster • Concept toaster printer capable of producing 12x12 pixel images on bread. • Art exhibit not targeted for consumer production. • Finalist of Electrolux 2008 Design Lab Competition. • Intended to print news and local weather conditions. • Prototype on paper only.

  4. Requirements Toaster Requirements • Toaster should interface with LCD and physical inputs. • Image on toast shall be recognizable to user. • Image shall be toasted onto bread in a timely manner. • Toast should be edible post-toasting. Desktop Application Requirements • Application shall convert desired image file to a format readable by toaster. • Application shall accept BMP images for conversion. • Application should have a GUI.

  5. Technical Specifications • AVR 20 Pin 20Mhz 2K – ATtiny2313 • 20 Pin AVR Development Terminal • SD/MMC Mini Board • Demux • Relays • Nichrome Wire • Toaster Chassis
