Mike Moyer<\/a> was tired of seeing Samsung commercials for the Family Hub refrigerator<\/a> with the built-in camera and decided to make his own using a Raspberry Pi, a webcam\u00a0and a light sensor. Every time the fridge is opened, the Pi takes a picture of the contents. He used\u00a0a buck converter to take the fridge’s power supply down to 5V for the Pi and also created a website where the last picture taken was published. You can see the current picture on the website here<\/a>. Mike’s done an explanation video which you can see below and you can visit YouTube for a bill-of-materials<\/a>\u00a0(check the video description). The Python program he wrote is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
