Automated French Press | ft. Photon + Raspberry Pi

Hey World! What’s better than making coffee? Not making coffee. But still drinking coffee. I decided to make my own automated French Press machine. To automate it, I used a Raspberry Pi, a Photon (Internet Button), two stepper motors, wood, glue, and a lot of imagination. How it works: when I press the Internet button, it sends a signal to the cloud which then sends a signal to the python script running in the Raspberry Pi, which controls the coffee machine. When the button is green, it means that the machine is ready to start the process. After I press it, the timer starts and after 4 mins and the button turns magenta. Then, after the timer is done, the Raspberry Pi starts the stepper motors to press the French Press and the button turns blue when it is pressing. After it is done, the button turns rainbow and plays music to indicate that the coffee is ready.
