My Idea is to enhance and make the pet feeder for my cate (loly ^_^) from the previous week assignment.
The pet feeder consists of ultrasonic sensor that sense the cat is close and a servo motor to control the food gate with a buzzer indication that the gate is opened and the buzzer goes off with the gate is closed,
Also the system has a temperature sensor to sense the temp and make sure it's comfortable for the cat.

Design Steps
First I made the simulation using Tinker CAD.
I import an Arduino, Ultrasonic sensor, Servo motor.
Ultrasonic has 4 legs I attach the VCC to 5v pin on Arduino, GND leg to Arduino GND pin, Trigger leg on pin 7 & Echo leg to pin 6.
Servo has 3 legs I attach the VCC to 5v pin on Arduino, GND leg to Arduino GND pin & the Signal leg to pin 9.
Buzzer has 2 legs I attach the GND leg to GND pin on Arduino & the other leg I attach it to pin 11.
The LM35 Temperature sensor has 3 legs I attach the GND & VCC legs to VCC & GND on Arduino and the middle leg (data leg) to A) pin on Arduino.
I write the code that reads the distance, if the distance is 15cm or less the servo motor turn 90 degree and waits for 4 seconds also the buzzer goes on & then it the servo rotates again for 0 degrees then it waits again 3 seconds and the buzzer goes off and then continue the loop.
Another mode for the system to work if the user enters '1' in the serial communication the motor & the buzzer moved on and off like I described above.
The temperature sensor measure the temp and print it on Serial monitor.
From TinkerCAD I copied the code, then I pluged in the Arduino, open the Arduino IDE and paste the code then upload the code.

The coolest thing is to work with geeky guys and girls It was very fun really sharing ideas and jokes xD
I will never forget the instructor that helped me when I stuck and give me some advices.
