Intro: Sous-vide Arduino Shield

*NOTE* THIS PROJECT IS DONE BY A GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC Sous-vide (/suvid/; French for "under vacuum")[1] is a method of cooking food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a water bath for a long time72 hours in some casesat an accurately determined temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 60 C (140 F). The intention is to cook the item evenly, not overcook the outside while still keeping the inside at the same 'doneness' and to keep the food juicier. Items needed: Arduino Uno x 1 2x16 LCD x 1 RGB x 1 LM35 Temperature Sensor x 1 Sparkfun Solid State Relay (SSR) Control x 1 1K ohm Resistors x 6 Push Buttons x 3 Vacuum Pump x 1 Electrical Heating Appliance x 1 AC Face Plate x 1 AC Plug x 1 Skills Needed: Soldering skill Basic electrical engineering skill Overview: DIY Sousvide Arduino Shield AC Power Control Code for Arduino Experiment on Sousvide Arduino Shield

Step 1:
DIY Sousvide Arduino Shield Solder the following components into an Arduino Sousvide Shield as shown: 2x16 LCD x 1 RGB x 1 LM35 Temperature Sensor x 1 Sparkfun Solid State Relay (SSR) Control x 1 1K ohm Resistors x 6 Push Buttons x 3 Purpose of the components: Arduino Uno - Prototyping platform for testing LCD - Display results (eg. temperature) RGB - Visual signal LM35 Temperature Sensor - Detect temperature SSR - Electronic switching device in which a small control signal controls a larger load current or voltage Push Buttons - Setting

File Downloads

sous-vide schematics.xls (34 KB) [NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'sous-vide schematics.xls']

Step 2:
AC Power Control 1. Wire the AC plug to the AC Face Plate with the live pin as shown 2. The live pin will then be connected to the SSR

Step 3:
Code for Arduino 1. Download Arduino software from http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software 2. Download PIDv1 library from http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/PIDLibrary 3. Add "PID_v1" folder to Drive:/<directory>/arduino-1.0/libraries 4. Run Arduino software 5. Copy code from https://snipt.net/sourjuice87/ssr/?key=08329317010a7ff6e87232cbcfed4a8c 6. Verfiy and upload

Step 4:
Experiment on Sousvide Arduino Shield 1. Preparation of food with vacuum pump - Place your ingredients into a ziplock bag - Use a vacuum pump to vacuum seal the ziplock bag 2. Electrical heating appliance - Fill an electrical boiler or cooker with water 3. Waterproof LM35 temperature sensor - Place the LM35 temperature into a straw - Seal the both end of the straw 4. Set up DIY sousvide - Hook up Arduino Uno with the DIY Arduino Sousvide Shield and run the code - Place the waterproofed LM35 temperature sensor into the electrical heating applicance which is filled with water - Submerge the vacuum sealed ziplock bag which contain ingredients into the water bath 5. Ready for COOKING!!!
