My Final Project example
This is where I will start defining my final project idea and start to get use to the documentation process.
SMART PAW RESEARCH
Have you ever wondered how to enhance the life of your furry companion? In a world where connection with our pets is more crucial than ever, Smart Paws emerges as a solution designed to elevate the experience of caring for our beloved four-legged friends. But why Smart Paws?
In Mexico, the trend of having dogs as integral members of our lives is on the rise. With each passing day, more households are adopting these lovable four-legged friends, naturally increasing the needs of pet owners. In this context, Smart Paws stands as a response to the growing demands of those seeking the best for their faithful companions. Raising a pet can pose its challenges. Modern life often keeps us occupied, and the concern for the well-being of our furry friends can be overwhelming. Smart Paws is born from the idea of making pet parenting simpler, more connected, and, above all, smarter. This smart collar goes beyond being a mere accessory for your pet. It is a tool that integrates cutting-edge technology to offer a complete and connected experience. From access control to temperature monitoring and recording medical history, Smart Paws becomes an indispensable ally for pet care and connection. With Smart Paws, you not only enhance your dog's life, but you also strengthen that special bond you share with them. Join us on this exciting journey towards the future of canine parenting.
I also chose this project because I have 10 dogs at home, and I like to know that they are well even when I can't be with them due to work or school. Additionally, it's necessary for them to eat at specific times and be able to open doors to go outside to the yard for their needs. Below, I'm attaching some images of some of my dogs.

Project
Design
A. feeder
I will start designing the automatic feeder
prototipe 1
1. servo for dispensing food
2. ultrasonic sensor to measure the level of food in the container
In this first approach it was perfect since the design works well, however it has cons such as the croquettes getting stuck in the mouthpiece outlet that is built in 3D in addition to the cables and the servo being very within reach of the dog, this generating the initiative for the dog to destroy it by the sound made by the engine
Prototipe 2 // in construction
B. automatic waterer // in construction
C. collar DOG // in construction
The necklace will have a QR that will take it to an html with all its data and perhaps it will be implemented with NFC
It will also have a mlx90614 temperature sensor
which I have programmed to mark the dog's temperature which will be seen on a page in real time
