Programmable wireless control system for mixers

A programmable food preparation system, comprising:

• a food preparation apparatus, comprising:
• a base;
• a mixing container oriented at a non-orthogonal angle relative to the base, the mixing container having an upper rim and a bottom, the mixing container comprising a plurality of interlocking members that engage corresponding interlocking members on a base portion of a drive shaft that allow the mixing container to be attached to the base portion in multiple orientations relative to the base;
• a mixing tool having a first end and a second end, the first end of the mixing tool being connected to a distal end of the drive shaft, the distal end of the drive shaft being positioned within the upper rim of the mixing container, the second end of the mixing tool extending from the upper rim to the bottom of the mixing container;
• a motor positioned in the base and configured to apply a torque to the mixing tool;
• controller electronics connected to the motor and configured to control an operational setting of the motor;
• a first wireless communication interface in communication with the controller electronics;
• a remote control device, comprising:
• a transducer configured to transduce a physical characteristic of at least one food ingredient and to produce a measurement signal;
• a computer configured to receive the measurement signal;
• a second wireless communication interface configured to connect to the first wireless communication interface to transfer the measurement signal or related operational parameters to the controller electronics using the computer;
• wherein the controller electronics are configured to control the operational setting of the motor according to the measurement signal or the related operational parameters for preparing food in the mixing container using the mixing tool, the operational setting being based at least in part on the non-orthogonal angle of the mixing container relative to the base.
