Hello again! It appears that I have FINALLY finished hacking my poor Keurig. After much work it looks like it was totally successful! I put all of the connections into a 15-pin d-sub connector to make things more modular and added a switch to switch between automatic and manual modes. I would have preferred to do without the switch but due to the way some of the circuitry works it was necessary. This next weekend I will be going home and will bring my arduino back to the dorm and start getting creative with my newly installed interface. Once I get some basic code done I hope to eventually transfer the operations to an atiny chip so as to free up my arduino. Below is a pic of the system all enclosed nicely!

Keurig B40 Disassembly!
Hey! So for my first legit post, I made a video with some instructions on disassembly of a Keurig B40. Once I get it all closed up I intend to install a timer and a system to make it so I only have to push one button in the morning and it will turn on the machine, "open" and "close" the machine, and select my brew size, because having to push 3 buttons is far too much.. Also I have plans make it internet-controlled so I can have some coffee brewing when walking back to the dorm on a cold night. I intend to write a detailed followup soon with some high-quality pictures to help clear up anything that may have been fuzzy (or pixelated in the video itself.
Hey Guys! So I have always wanted to get around to making a blog and posting some of my hacks and projects on it and I finally got the motivation to. There is not much on here yet but I hope to change that! Anywho, feel free to shoot me an email or tweet @jman0742 if you have any questions or comments or anything!
