Dispositivo de supervisão alimentar para animais domésticos

Abstract

This work presents a product prototype with pet automation for feeding domestic animals. The prototype aims to automate the process of feeding domestic animals, autonomously and / or remotely, as well as monitoring and recording the variables attributed to the system. For this, it was considered a practical, fast and safe way for the tutor to have this control. The automation project has the Single Board Computer Raspberry Pi 2 as its main device, a System-on-Chip using RaspberryOS. The programming of the automation logic is in Python and SQL. The operating variables are controlled and monitored via a graphical web interface. The logic programming of the graphical interface is in PHP, HTML and SQL. A 3D prototype was designed, considering the need for food and water. Finally, the results of simulations in a computer environment and tests carried out on an experimental bench were presented. Through this prototype it is possible to determine the amount of meals, schedule times for meals, determine the amount of ration to be released, considering variables such as the types of rations and their dimensions. An accuracy test was carried out, proving the effectiveness of the product, demonstrating that the feeder enables meticulous feeding management.
