Keeping a pet can be delightful , but it has its dreadful moments when it comes to the the hygiene issue. While more and more household starting to keep cat as their pet, a smart cat litter now gradually becomes a must-have for cat person. We are sharing here an MCU solution applied on cat litter: 

1. How an Auto Cat Litter Works

The operating principle of cat litter robot is rather simple. It is somehow similar to a concrete mixer. As we know, the used cat litter is likely to clump together.By enabling the cat litter robot,the machine will seperate the clumps from the clean litter through a filter, and  then the clumps fall in to the trash bin down the machine from an opening, while the clean litter remain in the machine. With a reminder function, when the cat litter runs out ,it will automatically remind the owner that it is time to for a refill!

2. The Functions and Features

a.Auto sealing: After usage, automatically seal the opening to preventing from the smell leaking.

b.Ultraviolet sterilization: Built-in ultraviolet LED lamps.

c.Purification spray: The spray function can be turned on manually.

d.USB charging: Applicable for different USB port chargers.

3. Selection of Microcontroller

The auto cat litter robot allows for a variety of microcontroller selection. Yufan’s auto cat litter box chooses the cost-effective Nyquest microcontroller-NY8B062D. This is ERPROM based 8 bit microcontroller tailored for I/O based applications like small appliances, measuring instruments and etc, fully meets the function demand for the cat litter solution.
