User:Asadabbas/Asad Gillani/ENES-100/Project 3: Pet food controller

Week1 Narrative
We received the pet food feeder for the first time We started analyzing it

It had 2 components at tmoment

First we have the bottom portion which includes 2 gears that are connected to the bottom with vertical bars holding them up. There is a door connected to the top that the gears slide open

The top portion is just a box made of wood with 5 sides and one open end.

We had a solid base to start on from what the previous team left us.

We were left with future plans of including a 3d printed wheel that dumps 1/4 of a cup into the bowl

At this moment we don't have a program or a basis for what the algorithm would look like

We planned that the feeder To Recognize the the RFID that each pet would be equipped with. When the feeder recognizes the correct RFID tag it dispences 1/4 a cup of food. The door to the bowl portion of the feeder stays open to as long as the RFID is in range During the day the feeder keeps distributes 1/4 of a cup every three hours.

In order to prevent other animals from taking the appropriate animals food the door for the bowl does not open.
