In-Depth Information
This project has been presented as an example to help a person
enhance the quality of life for their animal friends. This project should
not be construed as a replacement of human interacion for our animal
friends. We totally understand that pets ease the stress in our lives and
this project presents some examples to make their lives beter.
Why is it awesome?
We are demonstraing the capabiliies of the Raspberry Pi while building a pet monitor.
This can be adopted in any applicaion where there needs to be exchange of informaion
between devices. This project demonstrates the use of the Raspberry Pi in the beterment
of our lives from another perspecive. Our pets and other feral friends (for example, birds
or feral cats) that visit us are our family members and we try our best to take care of them.
Our goal in this project is to make the Raspberry Pi do our job beter.
