Overview

Concept

Initiated by a simple tap, MeowMate's arm gracefully rotates in a friendly wave, triggering an IFTTT event that promptly sends the user a cheerful "Meow!" Throughout the project's completion, I applied my knowledge in both hardware and software domains, meticulously constructing circuits to build the structure and coding in Arduino.
