#Beastro App Feed your furry friends!

Inspiration

Going on a trip? Can't rely on roommates to feed your pet or do you have no roommates? No worries! Now you can feed your pet remotely!

What it does

At the push of a button, you can feed your pet via the "Beastro Bowl" - an IoT piece of hardware and service that allows you to monitor your pet remotely.

How I built it

Team of 5 - using Edison board, Grove kit sensors, and a javascript app. We are a team that came up with an idea and chose an area of expertise to focus on: hardware, service, UX, and UI. Working together, we each researched, banded, and hacked on our little piece of the puzzle and came together to build Beastro! We even utilized 3D printing to build a component we did not have.

Challenges I ran into

Communication between hardware and web app. 3D printing time requirement.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Learning node.js, upcycling, leveraging everyone's skills in order to create a product everyone is proud of, learning how to use a 3D printer!

What I learned

Node.js, to install programs before hand, 3D printing, AJAX calls

What's next for Beastro

Sensor to measure when there is food in the bowl and when there isn't.
