Short project overview
This project will focus on the process and steps of building a simple cat/pets feeder, through the use of SG90 - Servo with a notification function using LoPy4, Pybets and Discord, which will be connected through WiFi. The time of the project will depend on whether you have previous knowledge of programming, IoT, and sensors functionality. However, being a beginner that never worked before with IoT or programing it took me more time due to the additional research and help which took me about 10 hours.
Objective
The reason for this project is that I own a cat. As I am sure many who own pets will also agree with me. For a person who lives alone, going out for long hours sometimes is challenging, since no one can feed my pet. Therefore, the idea of creating an automatic food dispenser came to my interest. With my limited knowledge of IoT that was gained throughout the course, I decided to keep it simple and try to learn more about how the connections between the hardware and software work.
This project will first solve a problem for me since my pet will be fed at a specific time, even if I was not available to do so. Secondly, it will build my knowledge and understanding of the way the data transfers to sensors, as well as, how codes work to make the sensor work.
