An owner of a Cuisinart TOA-60 toaster oven managed to give new life to their machine after the function selector switch became faulty, adding smart features and turning the appliance into a “one of a kind” device.
They managed to access the toaster’s internal components in order to conduct the upgrade, before creating an Android application which utilised speech recognition to control the toaster oven.
The project is documented in full, and includes all the necessary pinouts, circuits, codings and logic explanations for anyone looking to attempt a similar upgrade.
The impressive hack bucks the trend which usually sees such devices either discarded or having their lifespan extended by a minimal repair.
