Pavlov's Cat
Introduction
My project is a food device which dispenses a specified quantity of candies every time a certain melody is playing and when the sensor detects the presence of a hand.
The idea of the project started when my friend received a cat as a present and she was struggling to teach her cat when it is time to eat and when it is not. Of course, I adapted it to dispense candies, not cat food, given the fact that I don't have one.
The purpose of the project is to teach your cat when it is time for her to eat and when it is not. This will be a relieve for the owners, not having to worry that if they leave the cat at home, she will eat all the food at once.
I believe that this project is useful for others because you can control the amount of food and also the time when the device will dispense the food. The fact that you can control it from your phone is a big plus especially that you can't guess when the cat is in front of the device.

Pavlov's Cat
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-
- Pavlov's Cat: the whole device that dispenses a specified quantity of candies every time a certain melody is playing and when the sensor detects the presence of a hand.
- Arduino MKR1000: the wi-fi board
- Buzzer: it is a signaling device that will play a melody
- Servo motor: this small motor will move the “door” allowing the candies to be dispensed
- Phototransistor: this will detect the presence of the hand
Hardware Design
- Servo motor: A servo motor is a BLDC motor with a sensor for positional feedback. This allows the output shaft to be moved to a particular angle, position, and velocity that a regular motor cannot do.
- Buzzer: A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers, train and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
- Phototransistor: A semiconductor device like a phototransistor is used to detect the light levels and changes the flow of current among emitter & collector terminals based on the light level it gets.
- Arduino MKR1000: The Arduino MKR 1000 WiFi is the easiest point of entry to basic IoT and pico-network application design
Software Design
- mediu de dezvoltare (if any) (e.g. AVR Studio, CodeVisionAVR)
- librării şi surse 3rd-party (e.g. Procyon AVRlib)
- algoritmi şi structuri pe care plănuiţi să le implementaţi
- (etapa 3) surse şi funcţii implementate
