For the final project, I’m thinking of making an interactive toy for my cats.
The main feature would be cats interact with the toy and the camera takes pictures and posts it on a Twitter account. I can check the Twitter account when I miss my cat.
I’ll be using the Arduino as the main board. A toy to attract the cat. Capacity sensor and motion sensor in the camera as the input and detect whether the cat is here. Camera sets on a servo motor to adjust the angle or position. ml5.js to test if the picture has a cat in it. Yun shield on Arduino to connect to Temboo in order to get Twitter API.
hardware:
Arduino, Capacity sensor(cooper tape), camera with built-in motion sensor, servo motor, yun shield(?), wood box
