E-juice calculator for Raspberry Pi?

submitted about 8 years ago by shotbyghandi

I have a raspberry pi 3 that I want to use to calculate and store my recipes and was wondering if anyone has made an app for it yet? I have considered using an online calculator but found it too slow on this setup.

I thought Raspberry Pi was a new flavor and was thoroughly intrigued and then confused.

I'm sorry that I won't be much help here, but I have to ask...

What would be the benefit of using the raspberry pi for this over just using a computer and an online calculator? Or is this just a sort of challenge for shiggles?

Its more just me wanting an excuse to use it. That and I don't like mixing at my main computer anymore and have a separate mixing area now.

That seems like a highly inconvenient way of keeping track of and creating recipes. The Pi is a computer by the way. It runs Linux software. Why not just use your phone or a PC?

I mean... embedding a touchscreen monitor into my desk could be kinda cool

I just have it around and figured I'd put it to good use. I also prefer to type on a keyboard when I'm mixing as things get too messy for touch screens.

You should install retropie on that baby instead

Sometimes people want to do things "just because". It's not always about efficiency.

When I read this I immediately imagined someone running a juice calculator on a pipboy.

You could do what I do on my laptop at my mixing station: Use notepad :) Or a webpage like ATF or ELR.

Pretty much this. Flash raspbian and use a web browser to access and use an existing online calc.

Now I want to buy a load cell for my pi and learn some programming so I can load my recipes from the network and have the pi tell me which ingredient and how much.

An app, as in a normal Linux program (command line or GUI), or something specialized for one of the specialized accessory touchscreens?

Doesn't have to be touchscreen compatible. I'm just using a keyboard, mouse, and an old Dell monitor with the Pi velcroed to the back.

Can you use a wrapper like Wine on a Pi? This could be the easy solution

If you can get it emulating Android, there's an app on the play store called e juice lab which I find very useful.

Your best bet would probably be Raspbian + Open Office + some clever spreadsheet.
