Automatic Cat Litter Box

• Worked on a team to build and design a self cleaning cat litter box with the capabilities of detecting the cat via motion and weight detection and a motor powered comb that cleans the box periodically using a timer.
• Written the code in C that was responsible for implementing the timer for the cleaning cycle as well as configuring the motion and weight sensors to stop the timer to prevent the cleaning mode from occurring if the cat is near.
• Performed the testing for both the sensors, motor and the two buttons which were responsible for putting the box in standby mode or starting the cleaning cycle immediately.
