The Smart Pet Feeder(SPF) is a self-automated device that can feed your household pets at their convenience.The SPF works by attaching an RFID tag to a pets collar which is scanned in by the RF antenna mounted on the SPF when the animal is within the antenna read distance range.Upon receiving the RFID tag information, the PCB will then drive a DC motor which will rotate a paddle wheel and dispense food down into the food bowl. A second DC motor will rotate the food bowls to allow food to be dispensed then be accessed by the pet. Each pet will have their own RFID tag which will correspond to a specific food bowl.
