Automated Pet Feeder
As pet lovers, we understand that the responsibilities of life sometimes inhibit
pet owners from properly caring for their pets. Pet care should be fun, not
burdensome, and so our goal with this project was to assist owners with pet care by
providing a system that automates diet management.
A controller is used to activate a mechanical assembly using which a fixed amount of
food is dispensed from the feeder unit after a specific duration the amount of food
being dispensed as well as the time after which the food has to be dispensed can be
entered using a keypad. A memory is used to save this setting.
