![]() In addition, their weights are considerably different (one has about 3 kg and the other one 5 kg), so that it would be possible to distinguish between the measurements which cat was on the scale.īut I finally realized that it would be possible to use the device to extract a lot of new information! By measuring the weight of the box it would be possible to monitor the amount of sand available inside (as a way of indicating that it is time to fill with more sand or change all the contents), the number of times the cats have used the box per day, when the box was last cleaned, etc. They usually stay inside the litter box long enough to make the necessary measurements, and they use it several times a day without the need for human intervention, making the box the ideal surface for the installation of a similar device used om my IoT scale. ![]() And that's where the idea of using their litter boxes as "bait" came up. It made me think of ways to weigth them regularly without having to worry about having to put them on some specific surface and hold them there for a while. They usually come up on the wooden surface regularly (especially if I'm trying to weigh myself in an attempt to troll me and make I look heavier), but they don't have not have the patience to stand on the device for long enough to complete the measurements. When I was shooting the video on the IoT scale, I realized that it would even be used to track the weight of my cats. ![]() If you follow my tutorials, you know that I live with some cats and I love doing projects involving four things: 3D printing, internet of things, robots and, of course, cats! You can find other of my projects likethis scale saves weight measurements in the cloud or this hanging cat bed made with PVC pipes. ![]()
