Prepared an "initial plan" about how to start the electrical design of the door. Since there was no meeting last week, we tagged up on what tasks can be completed during the week while we wait for Dr. Ejaz comments on our "initial plan". Agreed on working on the website to include all the pages for the proposal course.


Initial Plan:

  • Purchase the chicken coop door and the pressure sensing mat.

  • Take apart both components to inspect the electrical details. (voltage, current, and motor type for the door - working principle for the pressure sensing mat)

  • Create a timeline for the project

  • Once the electrical information are obtained, begin the design of the electrical side (power supply, relay switches, Raspberry Pi GPIO connection)
