Abstract

Abstract: At present automated technology is a trend and is easy to access, user friendly and easy to monitor. Having pet can be an enjoyment in our life. In this paper a prototype has been proposed to solve the problem of providing food and water for all types of pet when owner is residing away from home such as lockdown situation. By the application of this prototype, the owner can supply food and water to the pet at their preferred scheduled time. The system proposed is controlled through an ATMEGA32 Microcontroller. A conical structure created using ply board (collected from waste material) for reserving the pet's food. A servomotor has been interfaced to control the outflow of the food through a PVC pipe connected to the bowl. The bowl is placed on a load cell to inspect the weight of food. The owner can assign the timing and quantity of food through a keyboard to supply food depending on the instantaneous weight of the food in the bowl. By using float sensor water level in the container has been monitored and refilled.
