Cat Feeder

This project is my attempt at an automated cat feeder.

Current Hardware:

Raspberry Pi 3 breadboard servo (Futaba S3003) switch and led

Future Hardware necessary for purpose:

an actual cat feeder (cereal dispenser or homegrown PVC setup) second servo and feed bin (some dispensers are dual bin already) cat-triggerable button

Future hardware for feature creep:

webcam motion sensor

Current capabilities

feed by pushbutton feed by email with trigger phrase in subject or body feed by text (uses google voice, which is forwarded to email)

Future capabilities

feed by cat (using pushbutton - maybe headbutt a panel over a switch?) feed treat portion instead of full portion (possibly using second servo and feeder) motion-sensor triggers feed, camera, or both web-cam
