Hoe popcorn maken
Uit de manual , zord zo nog aangepast :
- . Turn on two switches.
- Allow kettle to warm for approximately 5 minutes.
- Place one measure of oil in kettle (1/3 cup). Immediately add one measure of raw popcorn (8 oz.) plus seasoning salt. Pull lid closed to prevent stray kernels. (Lid is held in place by magnet directly above the kettle.)
- While corn is popping, keep front operator doors slightly ajar to prevent fogging. Keep hopper door at “out” position to aid in catching stray popcorn.
- Allow corn to pop until popping ceases, usually when 3-4 seconds lapse between pops. Then pour remaining popped corn from kettle by rotating handle clockwise 1/3 turn and pulling downward.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for additional batches.
- Turn KETTLE switch to OFF position when finished preparing popcorn; POWER or LIGHT switch may remain ON to display and heat popcorn.
Hoe te schoonmaken
Hardware
- A second hand Paragon Theater Pop 8 machine. It even comes with a full technical manual.
- TiLDA Mkπ board, acquired during the wonderful EMF 2016 camp
- Set of 10W speakers, salvaged from an old Phillips TV
- YX5300 UART MP3 player, clone of a Catalex serial MP3 player.
- 5W stereo amplifier
- Meanwell 100W 5V power supply Slight overkill, we need about 60W for the NeoPixels full on and full volume music, but it is good to get extra power, as the power output drops as things get hot above the kettle.
- 5m NeoPixel RGB strip
- 2 turbine-style server fans, out of an old SunSfire x2200
- Random thermally stable wires, protoboard and some extra caps for buffering the 5V and filtering noise.
- Omniulux 40W UV/Blacklight lamp to replace the boring display lamp.
