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
