Automated pet feeding based on two-step detection process
Includes PIR sensor, Sonar:bit, 180° 9g servo
Enhances understanding of programming concepts for students
Designed to foster innovation and practical skills
Note: Smart Home Material not included
The ElecFreaks Classroom Smart Pet Feeder Kit is a sophisticated device designed to feed pets in an automated manner. This kit is composed of a micro:bit v2, an IOT:bit expansion board, a PIR sensor from the Octopus series, a Sonar:bit, and a 180° 9g servo.
The functionality of the smart pet feeder is based on a two-step detection process. Initially, the PIR sensor identifies the presence of a pet in proximity. Subsequently, the sonar:bit is employed to ascertain if the pet is within a 20cm radius in front of the wooden house (not included). If both these conditions are satisfied, the servo initiates a rotation, triggering the pet food storage box to dispense the food. Once the food has been dispensed, the servo reverts to its original position, ready for the next feeding cycle.
The ELECFREAKS Classroom Smart Pet Feeder Kit is designed to foster innovation and practical skills among primary and secondary school students. By programming the feeder's operations, students can enhance their understanding of programming concepts.
