GoPro-Eye, vision analysis of coffee bean roasts

In my previous post about r1-eye, I described using a jailbroken Rabbit R1 to watch my coffee roasts and send images to Claude Vision for analysis. It worked but there are 2 issues I found when trying to place the camera for the best shot. The first is that there is nothing you can use to mount the r1. I used stacked cardboard boxes which I constantly bumped. The second is the bright orange frame of the r1. The reflection skewed the color of all the images and we had to resort to a cropping mechanism to remove it.

As I described in my previous post Automated Coffee Roasting Analysis, I roast coffee at home on a Hottop KN-8828b-2k+. The Hottop has a viewport on the left side facing away from the control panel. When roasting all my focus is on the laptop, which sits on the right side of the roaster. I can’t really see the beans during the roast and can’t visually assess the changes, which is a key criteria of the beans’ development.
