Description
Summary:This project explains about designing and developing an automatic pet feeder that comes with the client/server application. Not like the ordinary pet feeding product in the market today that requires the user to set the times of feeding, this automatic pet feeder use the ultrasonic sensor that placed in front of the device to sense the presence of the pet. The purpose and concept of this project is the same with other device like it, to feed the pet without the present of the owner. This project was developed using Motorola MC68HC11A1P microcontroller that play the role as the main controller system. The microcontroller used in this project is programmed using assembly language. The microcontroller controls the rotation of the motor and send signal to the server computer to update the database at the server. The server and client application for this project is developed using Visual Basic 6.0 software. Finally, this project allows the user to view the information about the feeding from other computer where internet becomes the medium of interaction.
