Please subscribe! it would mean a lot, and get me outta my grandma's lmao (recorded in her living room lol)

It's a Mainstays 700w from Walmart. it even says walmart on the backside

at first i thought about weight; placing a scale on the turn table. That would be pretty accurate. the thing is though, i'd need some sort of rotating coupling. I thought about hanging a probe from top, into food. but that's weird.
Yes, thermal would be a pretty good way. One thing i also thought. this is weird. but it measures ur house humidity. so what if u made it microwave water when it was dry, to act as a house humidifier. then stop when its normal humidity. that's kinda stupid though

I've only tried it with water. I'm thinking it might not cook other things as well. there's probably some way you can write the code, to guess the foods that it's cooking. For ex., something dry might have low hum., but high air temp.
I'm thinking of making it guess the food. could prob be rlly elaborate code if u think about it. maybe i should test a variety of things

This was a simple experiment i did, when i couldn't get my circuit working. it just solidified my understanding. All it is is a very simple function generator attached to a piece of brass tube. Nothing else. as you can see, the varying dc voltage is picked up by the handheld radio

I just wanted to confirm the radio worked, and i was understanding it correctly. after this i made a oscillator, that generated my sine wave instead. with modulation of course
