Inspiration

Carles had a fat dog, Miglo also had a fat dog, Ablaro's dog joined the party. I had a normal dog. We had to normalize.

What it does

It schedules feeding time for animals

How we built it

A raspberry pi is controlling the servos and sensors with a python backend. A C# .NET app is used to schedule it using an API.

Challenges we ran into

Feeding mechanism, servo programming, time format. FSR frustration. NFC/RFID usage

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Everything

What we learned

API building, C# coding, Python hacking, Google searching, how to sleep on the floor at like 4ºC.

What's next for Menjadora

I worked on the API server, Servo modeling and programming, FSR modeling. Raspberry PI setup.

Marce Coll
I worked on the electronic part and programmed the servos, some sensors and the backend for the raspberry-pi.

I pogrammed the C# user interface. The user can insert the amount of food and scheduling of the feeding machine to a list which syncronizes with a local database and the RaspBerryPi using JSON. It can also register a new tag which identifies a new animal.

Magali Boada
I worked on the hardware, designing the feeding mechanism, storage, closure system and sensors and actuators necessities, connections and programing. This was my first contact with raspberry Pi and Python.
