Aim
To create a pet feeder that dispenses food with an IR remote.
Problem statement
Design an automated pet feeder system that utilizes an IR sensor to detect the presence of a pet. The system should dispense a predefined portion of pet food when the sensor detects the pet within a certain proximity, ensuring timely and accurate feeding while minimizing the risk of overfeeding.
Material used
Input: TSOP sensor (TV remote sensor)
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Servo motor
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
TSOP Sensor
The function of TSOP Sensor is to Read TV Remote Signal.
Servo Motor
Servo motor is used to open and close the pet feeder.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor TSOP Sensor and Servo motor.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the open command is received from the remote. The brain board oscilates the servo motor to 90 Degree and after 2 Seconds Servo motor oscilates the Servo motor to 0 Degree.
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect TSOP Sensor to input 3
Step 2: Connect SERVO MOTOR to output 1
Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
