Instead, I opted to swing by the local Goodwill the next day, to see what secondhand options might be available.

As luck would have it, I found a no-frills, single button coffee maker for the princely sum of $4, and I was on my merry way.

Later that evening, opening the black box up (thankfully I had the correct triangular screwdriver head), I found very easily hackable innards.

The control board ([front](media/20200610_205847.jpg), [back](media/20200610_205841.jpg)) is very simple - two buttons in parallel, an LED, and a couple resistors.

|
||||
I'm not quite sure what the logic is upstream (it un/latches on each press), but the buttons short to ground, and this is something I can work with.
|
||||
The control board has wires for ground, signal, and 5V, in that order.
|
||||
|
||||
The ordeal of hacking into the thing, and my missteps trying to do so, is rather boring really, but it produced this:

The brains I added was a Wemos D1 Mini (thanks, Aliexpress!), with a 3.3V<->5V converter between to sense when the coffee maker is on, and also turn on a mosfet to short the button to ground.
|
||||
I initially had issues with the coffee maker turning on whenever I plugger the D1 Mini in, but a pulldown resistor solved this.

I also opted for an external USB plug - this allows me to possibly reflash this without opening the enclosure, and also meant I did not need to splice into the mains line inside, which I was reluctant to do.

The idea was fairly simple - use two smooth rods and a leadscrew to pull a carriage against springs that would then somehow fire the fishing weight.
|

The choice of this mechanism was, for the most part, due to availability of parts.

Eventually, however, some progress was made - progress in something of a wrong direction, but progress nonetheless.
|
||||
As the shape of our ungainly creation began to emerge, it was clear progress needed to be made quickly.
|
||||
Once we coupled our stepper motor to the leadscrew and power tested the unit, it was also clear that change was in order.
|
||||
|
||||
So a decision was made: a cheap cordless drill would be pilfered for a battery, motor and chuck.
|
||||
A H-Bridge would need to be bought for the drill motor (I [tried to](media/20191025_194859.jpg) [make one](media/20191102_144426.jpg), but the magic smoke was released...), and a latching system needed to be made.

The next week or so resulted in the beginnings of a working launch mechanism.
|
||||
With the aid of a rubber band, a latching track was put under the rods and springs, such that the motor would tension the launching carriage, then return to the front of the mechanism to allow the eventual release of the catch using a servo.
|
||||
Soon after this, the motor was [appropriately mounted to the frame](media/20191110_072012.jpg), with a carefully fit 3D printed socket.

As it turned out, the very same stepper motor that had once tried to turn our leadscrew now instead would be pressed into service reeling in the line.
|
||||
Overkill, to be sure, and it's power most wastefully used, it did indeed reliably turn our reel, albeit slowly.
