The first rapid prototype of a smart dog bowl. Made in the last two hours from available materials. An Arduino inside a cardboard box sends the weight of the feed to the server (logz) every second. Let’s observe. It’s not unlikely that Yuki will quickly demolish this setup. But that’s what a prototype is for. Actually, the plan is to set up a platform on the same scales where the dog will be eating and simultaneously weigh the dog. It’s relatively uncomplicated (just bulky), but it will be amusing to watch how grams move from the bowl into the dog. Also planned is a feeder which will dispense the feed on a schedule and just enough to fill the bowl. Nothing too complicated either, just need to get around to it.
