The Meowton project was designed to measure the weight of your pets and automatically feed your pets according to their diets.
Check out the youtube channel of my cats to see a demo
- Each cat has a certain food quota per day. The quota is increased when its feeding time, and decreased whenever the cat is eating.
- We try to get the cat used to a schedule, but if the cat has quota left it can eat whenever it desires.
- The scale will identify the cat by its weight. (No RFID support yet, so the weights of the cats should be in different ranges)
- The cat can keep eating as long as it has quota.
- The food scale measures exactly how much your cat eats and updates the quota.
- It creates nice graphs to track your cats weight.

Start with the base plate and cat scale:
Make sure to align it to the edge of the build plate, so that there is room left for the dispenser and food scale.
Now add the food dispenser and food scale:

After you've done all of the above, its time to connect everything together: Electronics build instructions.
And then you can install the software on the RPI: Install and config instructions
