Pet-Activity-Monitor-Reference-Design
The Renesas Pet Activity Monitor is a practical reference design created in celebration of the Year of the Dog. This device can track your dog's barking and activity, and data can be viewed and downloaded from your PC. The Pet Activity Monitor is a self-contained PCB board inside a plastic casing to make it easy to attach to your pet's collar or use the included collar. This activity monitor features a Renesas SynergyTM Platform S3-series MCU and multiple Renesas power and analog components. The device monitors activity and sound from your pet. It attaches to the pet's collar and can count steps taken by the pet throughout the day. It can also detect barking in dogs.
Pet activity data is logged into the MCU data flash memory making it easy for you to read this data from the monitor to see what times of the day that your pet is most active. The data collected can be downloaded to a PC via a USB port on the device. Collected data and settings can be viewed and managed through the Pet Monitor PC application. The Pet Activity Monitor is delivered preloaded with a demonstration program. The demonstration program shows several features of the Pet Activity Monitor and source code is available as a programming example for developers. While this design has been created specifically as a pet monitor, with some modifications to code and/or additional hardware using the non-populated PMOD connector, it could be used as a remote sensor/logger for a variety of applications.
