Implementación de un prototipo de dispensador de comida para mascotas controlado a través de Internet : Implementación de un prototipo de dispensador de comida para mascotas controlado a través de Internet por medio de una aplicación en Android y de Telegram.

Abstract

The main objective of this project is the development of a pet feeder whose control must be given remotely with the use of platforms dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the messaging application Telegram. This device allows the collection of data for the issuance of alerts according to the detection of food shortage inside its compartments, both for water and food, signals produced through the use of sensors dedicated to each application and processed by a microcontroller that allows to connect to the network. In addition to deciding the dispensing of food given a certain schedule set by the user and according to the detection of the presence of the pet fulfilling this criterion. For the development of the prototype, different phases were implemented to allow an optimal elaboration of the device required for the fulfillment of the proposed project plan. Within the methodology, a synthesis of each of the necessary steps for the establishment and satisfaction of each proposed objective is presented. Following this, the results section is presented, where the fulfillment of each procedure initially established in the development of the methodology is presented in detail. Thus, the choice of the physical and logical elements necessary for the realization of the project, the design of the physical prototype, programming code and printed circuit board (PCB) with the necessary connections, the implementation of the dispenser within a mock-up, and finally, the documentation of tests on the operation of the dispenser.
