Smoker.js

Smoker.js is a Johhny Five BBQ thermometer powered by a Particle Photon

Description

Hooks up with a Particle Photon to create a BBQ thermometer. The readings emitted from the BBQ thermometer can be read via websocket.

Installation

$ npm install

Development

The server provides a mock device which will generate random numbers for use in development

$ npm install
$ npm run dev

Production

$ npm install
$ npm run start

This assumes you have provided PARTICLE_TOKEN and PARTICLE_DEVICE_ID environment variables. This will allow you to connect to your Particle device via the cloud.

How to Build the Circuit

Follow Derick Bailey's guide on how to assemble a simple BBQ thermometer circuit.

The circuit will roughly look like this:

The only modification I have made from this is to drop the LED.
