Today I stared on my first project, an automated cat feeder.

• At first I thought of making the dispensing mechanism was just a door that opened and closed but the problem with that was it wasn’t precise enough and would likely get jammed. So I went for a different approach, a rotating wheel that could dispense the cat food in measurable increments.

• I also did all the measurements for the dimensions of the cat feeder so everything would fit in place.

• I also did a lot of research on food safe filaments and what kinds of motors to get to make the product actually function.

I am really happy with the work I got done today and hopefully by the next devlog I will have the majority of the mechanism working.
