❗ Problem Statements
-
🕒 Pet feeding schedules can be inconsistent due to busy human routines.
-
🐶 Overfeeding or underfeeding may affect pet health and behavior.
-
🌍 Pet owners who travel or work long hours struggle with timely feeding.
🎯 Goals
-
🍽️ Automate pet feeding at scheduled intervals with accurate portion control.
-
📉 Monitor and adjust food quantity in real time using a load cell.
-
📲 Provide remote monitoring and control via a mobile app.
💡 Solution Statements
-
⚖️ Use a load cell to measure the amount of dispensed food precisely.
-
⏱️ Integrate an RTC module to handle precise feeding schedules.
-
📡 Use ESP32 with Wi-Fi to connect to a mobile app for control and feedback.
-
🔁 Control a servo motor to open and close the feeder valve.
-
📺 Display system status on an OLED screen.
-
🔔 Use a buzzer to alert when food is low or dispensing is complete.
🧰 Prerequisites – Component Preparation [: or you can list every platform/library required:]
-
🧠 ESP32: Central controller with Wi-Fi capability
-
⚖️ Load Cell + HX711 Module: Measures dispensed food weight
