Project Development
What tasks have been completed?
- The creation of the real-time monitoring system with ESP cameras.
- The integration of automatic food and water dispensers.
- The development of a web application for system monitoring and control.
- The implementation of the smart collar for temperature monitoring.
- The completion of the video and slide presentation for the final project.
What tasks remain?
- correctly document what has already been done
Has worked:
- Real-time streaming from the ESP cameras.
- The functioning of the water dispenser system.
- The responsiveness of the web application.
Hasn't worked:
- The automatic feeder has not worked perfectly, as food sometimes gets stuck when the compartments open.
What questions need to be resolved?
- How can the automatic feeder be redesigned to prevent food from getting stuck?
- What other functions could be added to increase the system's value for users?
- How could the user interface of the web application be improved?
- How to integrate the circuits directly into the power supply, as they currently operate with power sources?
What will happen when?
- The final presentation for me is going to happen on Jun 10
What have you learned?
- The importance of an efficient mechanical design to avoid issues like food getting stuck in the automatic feeder.
- How to integrate multiple technological components (sensors, cameras, dispensers) into a cohesive system.
- The relevance of user feedback to improve a product.
- Advanced skills in programming, hardware design, and software development.
