| ==In-Depth: Smart Containers==
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Concept===
| |
| Question: Is there enough flour and sugar at home to make a cake for your friend's birthday tomorrow? Or do you need to stop at the store on your way home?
| |
|
| |
| Solution: Smart containers for your pantry — this way all you need to do is check your mobile device and you can see exactly how much flour and sugar you have at home. No need for unnecessary purchases or stops on the way home.

| |
| =====Processing=====
| |
| <source lang="java">
| |
| Serial myPort; // variable for the serial

| |
| float reVal =map(incomingVal, 51, 255, 0, 255); // rescale the incoming value to the depth of the container
| |
