Scoopr

Scoopr - An overengineered solution nobody asked for to a social problem.

Scoopr is a scale with a live-ish web dashboard so you can see how much coffee is left in the office coffeepot since *somebody* keeps taking the last cup without starting a new pot. Rather than posting passive aggressive signs, we decided to make a passive aggressive open source project.

The name follows Poopr, a bathroom availability project. We pivoted from an output strategy to an input strategy after Poopr suffered from logistical problems and market congestion (battery replacement for the door monitors was tedious, and we're getting a new office with more bathrooms.)

This is the result of a hack day project at my work, which has nothing to do with pooping or scooping.

Hardware requirements: NodeMCU, hx711 breakout board, 5kg load cell, coffee.
