With this project, you do not worry at all as your dog will be able to get food whenever he\/she is hungry! This automatic feeder contains a wheel at the bottom which is connected to a servo motor that will automatically drop food when the crib is nearly empty or when the dog is close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project also features 2 sensors! Firstly, it is an RFID reader where an RFID tag will be attached to the dog which will sense whether the dog is nearby. Secondly, it will be a light sensor that will light up an LED when it is dark!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a cat? This would work perfectly too! You can use it for any small pet you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you need? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Raspberry-Pi-4-Computer-Model-B-4GB-p-4077.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Raspberry Pi 4 Computer Model B 4 GB<\/a>    <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Weight-Sensor-Load-Cell-0-3kg-p-2086.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Weight Sensor (Load Cell) 0-3kg<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Grove-ADC-for-Load-Cell-HX711-p-4361.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Grove &#8211; ADC for Load Cell (HX711)<\/a>   <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Grove-Light-Sensor-v1-2.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Grove &#8211; Light Sensor v1.2<\/a><\/li><li>LED (Generic)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/category\/Grove-c-1003\/displays-c-929\/Grove-16-x-2-LCD-Black-on-Yellow.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Grove &#8211; 16 x 2 LCD (Black on Yellow)<\/a>  <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Grove-Servo.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Grove \u2013 Servo<\/a> <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Bread-board-Clear-8-2-x-5-3cm-p-262.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Breadboard Clear \u2013 8.2 \u00d7 5.3 cm<\/a>   <\/li><li>Resistor 470 Ohm <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/USB-Power-Adapter-for-Raspberry-Pi-4-5V-3A-p-4089.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">USB&nbsp;Power&nbsp;Adapter for Raspberry Pi 4 &#8211; 5V, 3A<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Grove-Slide-Potentiometer-p-1196.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Grove \u2013 Slide Potentiometer<\/a> <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/RFID-tag-combo-125khz-5-pcs-p-700.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">RFID tag combo (125khz) \u2013 5 pcs<\/a> <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Grove-125KHz-RFID-Reader.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog\">Grove \u2013 125KHz RFID Reader<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested?
