What it does
Automatically feeds pet upon approach Activated by collar device Dispenses food based on time Limits pet food intake

Why
Automatic feeding Specialized diet Prevents feeding of strays Keeps food fresh

How it worksBeacon device attached to pet collar broadcasts at 10 second intervalsMatched receiver detects beacon at short rangesMicrocontroller dispenses food based on user settings and time interval

Collar Beacon
We want small duty cycle on transmitter
555 timer circuit controls transmit enable pin on TXE-418-KH2 chip
TXE-418-KH2
Powered by coin cell battery
C1: 10 uF, R1: 100K R2: 1M, Diode: 1N4148, 9.1% duty cycle, 11 second period

TXE• TE goes high, TXE chip transmits• Address specified by pins A0-A9• Range controlled by LADJ

RXD
• RXD-418-KH2 chip is matched receiver for TXE chip• VT goes high when a signal from transmitter with matching address lines is detected• D0-D7 replicate their analogs on the TXE chip

Dog Feeder• Matched receiver chip receives signals from collar beacon• Microcontroller input is connected to valid transmission (VT) pin on RXD chip• Microcontroller turns on drive motor in dog feeder• Motor remains on for a length of time governed by user settings

Feeder
Relay controlled AC motor with auger to feed food through at a constant rate
• Motor is powered by normal AC power• Power to motor is controlled by relay• Relay is controlled by microcontroller
