Project Overview
This project is an Arduino-based automated water dispenser designed for dog owners. It eliminates the need for constant monitoring by detecting low water levels in the bowl and refilling it automatically. The system adapts water output based on the dog's size, ensuring consistent hydration with minimal owner interaction.
The purpose of this project was to create a reliable, hands-free solution that integrates sensors, a pump, and Arduino control logic to maintain water levels for pets. It demonstrates practical use of embedded systems, sensors, and control design for real-world applications.
Key Features
Automated Refilling
Detects low water levels with a weight sensor and refills automatically.
Smart Size Adjustment
IR remote input allows owners to set recommended water thresholds based on dog size.
Sensor Integration
Bowl weight sensor and IR receiver feed real-time data to the Arduino controller.
Pump Control System
Arduino controls the pump to dispense precise amounts, maintaining safe and consistent levels.
