devinb-sp/Automatic-Pet-Feeder

Our goal throughout this senior design project was to design, program and build a functionally stable automatic pet feeder where the user is able to control every setting, schedule, and be in the loop on their pet’s feeding habits from their phone through a mobile application that interfaces wirelessly with the automatic pet feeder.

Automatic-Pet-Feeder

Use the following commands to run the project.

• cd Automatic-Pet-Feeder
• npm install --global yarn (if yarn is not already installed)
• yarn
• nvm use node (to use the latest version of node)
• yarn start

The web server is the one that controls the different components in the Pet Feeder.

The endpoints are:

• 'dispense-food' => Must be a POST request and pass a body in the form of {"amount": 0.5}

• 'motor' => Must be a POST request and pass a body in the form of {"action": "start"} or {"action": "stop"}

• 'schedule' =>

  • To get the schedule => Must be a GET request

  • To update the schedule => Must be a POST request and pass a body in the form of { "food": { "amounts": [0.5, 1], "times": ["2022-06-13T23:14:00.000000", "2022-06-13T02:45:00.000000"] } }

  • Note: The length of amounts but be the same as the length of times. The date is ignored but MUST be passed. Only the time is used though, as this runs every 24 hours.

• 'pump' => Must be a POST request and pass a body in the form of {"action": "start"} or {"action": "stop"}
