Final Project: Planning

Sketch

This is the design sketch of the bird feeder, showing its structure and key features like food storage, waste collection, and electronics.

User Interaction

  • Users can refill the feed storage from the top, which is covered to prevent contamination.
  • LED indicators provide real-time feedback on food levels
  • The feeder can be mounted in multiple ways depending on user preference—standing or hanging
