Automatic Animal Feeding Place Based on Microcontroller System with Sound Sensor and Weight Sensor

Abstract

Animal care requires a lot of time and effort in maintaining and caring for them, especially in feeding. In the era of technology 4.0, humans need technology that can make it easier, one of which is in feeding animals automatically. The purpose of this research is to be able to detect the rattling sound used by animals, detect the weight of the feed in the control reservoir for the Microcontroller-Based Automatic Animal Feeding Place. To support this research, the author takes several examples of research that has been carried out related to the title "Automatic Animal Feeding Places Based on Microcontroller Systems using Sound Sensors and Weight Sensors". As a reference, the authors take examples of research from the past 3 years as an improvement for this research based on the shortcomings and weaknesses of previous studies, the authors have innovations to solve problems that occur with the presence of a sound sensor using the Easy VR module, a weight sensor using a load cell scale, and servo motor to control the valve opening and closing. so that the pet's food and drink needs will always be available when the animal needs it without direct human control first and without periodic feeding.
