# Recipe System Enhancement Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
This document outlines the comprehensive enhancements made to the recipe system in the DaireApplication, implementing proper goal checking, timer initiation, and phase transitions as requested.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Goal Check and Validation
|
||||
- **Input Validation**: Validates recipe parameters before starting
|
||||
- **Temperature Goal Validation**: Ensures heating, cooling, and pouring goals are reasonable
|
||||
- **Logical Validation**: Verifies cooling goal is less than heating goal
|
||||
- **Real-time Monitoring**: Continuously monitors temperature goals during execution
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Timer Initiation Logic
|
||||
- **Dual Goal Checking**: Checks both mixer (tank) and chocolate (fountain) heating goals
|
||||
- **Conditional Timer Start**: Only starts timers when both goals are met
|
||||
- **Phase-specific Timers**: Separate timers for heating, cooling, and pouring phases
|
||||
- **Automatic Phase Transitions**: Seamless transitions between phases
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Temperature Monitoring and Phase Transitions
|
||||
- **Continuous Temperature Tracking**: Monitors chocolate temperature throughout the process
|
||||
- **Cooling Phase Logic**:
|
||||
- If chocolate temperature equals cooling threshold → Shows cooling delay
|
||||
- If chocolate temperature not at cooling threshold → Initiates cooling phase
|
||||
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling for temperature deviations
|
||||
- **Warning System**: Proactive warnings when temperatures approach limits
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Enhanced RecipeStartBtn Method
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
public async void RecipeStartBtn(object? sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// 1. Initialize and validate recipe parameters
|
||||
if (!await InitializeAndValidateRecipe()) return;
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Start goal monitoring and phase transitions
|
||||
await StartRecipePhaseMonitoring();
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Update UI and begin execution
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Goal Checking Methods
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// Check if mixer heating goal is reached
|
||||
private async Task<bool> CheckMixerHeatingGoal()
|
||||
{
|
||||
bool goalMet = comTankTemp >= recipeHeatingGoal - 3;
|
||||
// Provides user feedback when goal is reached
|
||||
return goalMet;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if chocolate heating goal is reached
|
||||
private async Task<bool> CheckChocolateHeatingGoal()
|
||||
{
|
||||
bool goalMet = comFountainTemp >= recipeHeatingGoal - 3;
|
||||
// Provides user feedback when goal is reached
|
||||
return goalMet;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase Transition Logic
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// Handle cooling phase transition based on chocolate temperature
|
||||
private async Task HandleCoolingPhaseTransition(Settings settings)
|
||||
{
|
||||
bool chocolateAtCoolingTemp = Math.Abs(comFountainTemp - recipeCoolingGoal) <= 3;
|
||||
|
||||
if (chocolateAtCoolingTemp && cooling == -1 && Heating == -1)
|
||||
{
|
||||
await ShowCoolingDelay(settings); // Show delay when at target
|
||||
}
|
||||
else if (!chocolateAtCoolingTemp && cooling == -1 && Heating == -1)
|
||||
{
|
||||
await InitiateCoolingPhase(settings); // Start cooling phase
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
