Electronic grinder
An electronic grinder powered by a smartphone has an electronics housing removably attached to a container section. The electronics housing has a motor and a microcontroller powered by a smartphone connected by a universal serial bus connector. The container section is sealed at the top by an openable, swivel-mounted cap. The motor has a blade that extends into the container section. The blade connected to the motor by a magnetic connection and the blade is configured to grind material disposed in the container section when the container section is closed.
