Also, some microwaves are continuous power (magnetron always running) and some cycle on/off instead. Based on my struggle to find a continuous power microwave for a Senior Design Project (disposing of toxic compounds in standard microwave oven, I can't imagine this will effect too many models, but cycle times do differ between microwaves.
The Raspberry Pi microwave is awesome, though I do wonder why the 1 second buttons exist.
- eik3_de 13y ago> I do wonder why the 1 second buttons exist Ever tried to soften a small piece of cold butter? 10 seconds is way too long for that
- thesis 13y agoWouldnt hitting "4" and "start" be almost as fast? Unless you eat an absurd amount of butter I don't see how much time it could possibly save someone.
- jaynos 13y agoTrue. I forgot that I often hit 30 seconds and then watch the microwave until 15 second have passed (or whatever increment I need).
- Timothee 13y agoIf the cooking is under 10 seconds, you might as well start it for 10 seconds and stop it when needed. You won't have time to turn around and forget about it. If it's over, I doubt a one-second difference will make one (difference).
