How to hack your microwave

AKSARBENT never sleeps in its quest to bring more quirkiness to its readers. Here's something we found at ovensreviewed.com by Tyler Wells Lynch:
     Nathan Broadbent [AKSARBENT likes him already!], a New Zealand software engineer, used that cheap, Sony single-board computer called Raspberry Pi to develop a program that interacts with his home microwave, and which can be controlled remotely. Here are some of the features of Nathan’s brilliant home-mod microwave:

• Internet-synced clock
• Voice command control
• Barcode scanner for looking up cooking instructions from online database, which Broadbent created himself
• Mobile app phone for setting up cooking instructions for specific products
• Tweets after the timer is up

Here's how he did it.
