Stand mixer bowl light and tilt sensing

A stand mixer, comprising:

• a body;
• a mixer head pivotably coupled to the body;
• an attachment portion coupled to a bottom side of the mixer head;
• a sensor coupled with the mixer head that produces sensor data;
• a light source coupled with the bottom side of the mixer head and interposed between the body and the attachment portion;
• and
• a controller in communication with the sensor and the light source, wherein the controller controls the light source in response to the sensor data produced by the sensor.

A stand mixer, comprising:

• a body;
• a mixer head pivotably coupled to the body;
• an attachment portion coupled to a bottom side of the mixer head;
• a mixing attachment coupled with the attachment portion;
• a speed slider operatively coupled with the mixer head, configured to be operable by a user to control a rotational velocity of the mixing attachment;
• a mode selector operatively coupled with the mixer head, configured to be operable by a user to select an operational mode of said stand mixer;
• an angular sensor operatively coupled with the mixer head, configured to produce sensor data indicative of the angular position of the mixer head relative to the body;
• a timer operatively coupled with the mixer head;
• a light source operatively coupled with the bottom side of the mixer head and interposed between the body and the attachment portion;
• and
• a controller in communication with the speed slider, the mode selector, the angular sensor, the timer, and the light source, wherein the controller is configured to control the light source in response to the sensor data produced by the angular sensor.
