User:Senami/ENES-100/Project 3: Pet Food controller

Week1 Narrative
This week I am trying to learn more about the other group's project and how they received the inspirations for the pet food controller. It's possible that I will look more into redesign of the original prototype due to the fact that it may not be apt for both the implement and operate phases.

Week2 Narrative
This week we successfully 3D printed the turning mechanism for the pet feeder. I am now researching on how we can add a voice recorder to the project, but it will be something on the to-do list for later.The current and most important focus of the group this week was to get a working product. We presented in class the turning mechanism and possible problems we might encounter in making the product. The upcoming week we must brainstorm all the possible scenarios.

Week3 Narrative
On Monday, we started to create the housing for the turning mechanism. At the moment, I am still researching the voice recorder chip for the arduino and am now brainstorming of all the problems that could be facing the project. This week presented both on Wednesday and Thursday for our advances with the pet feeder. We asked the other group certain questions on the specific number of cats that the pet feeder operates and our plan of dispensing food. On Thursday, we presented many of the same ideals and stressed that we were taking a more mechanical, rather than electrical route on the pet feeder. At the moment, I am now researching on the possibility of dispensing water from our product.
