Digital Pet Feeding Schedule
Arduino & Processing
Interactive Prototyping: Fall 2021
Goal: Create a digital and interactive pet feeding schedule.
This system utilizes Processing and an Arudino Uno to allow users to input their pets, decide how long between feedings, and mark each animal as ‘Fed’ after they receive their meal.
This system allows owners to remain aware of their pet’s eating habits during the day, especially in places (like horse boarding barns) where multiple individuals care for the animals and it is sometime uncertain if a particular animal has received their food for the day.
The first iteration of the system utilized LCDs to show if the animals had been fed, the second displays the status on a screen through the Processing program.
Future evolutions of the product could include multiple digital screens, and/or the data being sent to users’ phone to show the status in real time.
