      Hi

      I was looking for automatic cat door, but with a real door. Then I saw the M5Stack Shop and decided to try it by myself…

      Thats the result from my first project with M5-Stuff and UiFlow! Not yet looking good. But first it has to work for a few days before I fix all the cables.

      The door opens only about 15cm! Not like the picture. And stays open for 15 seconds. With a led stripe as a countdown/up

      Here as a video
      Video

      Material:
      Core2 with DinBase and a 12V power adapter
      1 PaHub ( next to the Core)
      1 PbHub ( next to the Core)
      2 Pir Units ( 1 inside and 1 outside with a pipe around for smaller angles)
      2 Limit Units (1 on the open door and 1 above left)
      1 TOF Unit (1 on the sliding triangle)
      1 DayLight Unit (behind the robe for the brightness)
      1 Ultra Sonic ( upper left)
      2 x 360° servos
      1 Groove Hub
      1 Led Stripe (just for fun)
      1SD Card for Door-Status-Logfiles
      Some lego bricks and gears
      And a lot of cables

      And of corse some home working materials

      We got 2 chipped cats. The already ordered Rfid Units works at 13 Hz not at 134.2 for the cats. So I cant „read“ which cat is inside. They leave on the right. I planned to make a tunnel with 1 unit at the entrance and 1 at the exit. With the ID and the timestamp I can see hows in or out. If someone knows how to realize that, please tell me!

      Important for me:
      The door will be still usable as normal!
      No Movement when the door is locked, because of damage.

      Thanks for that forum!
