With the use of an Arduino, Parallax Ping))), and some scrap wood I rigged up an ultrasonic water level measurer(er). Next step is interfacing it with a serial proxy and getting this bad boy to twitter. Code will be provided on my site.

  • actually she can't hear it, thought about that before I rigged it all up and tested it.  She is a pretty curious cat and turning it on and off didn't catch her interest at all. Yes she does use it, check out the website and you can see that the water level drops through the day.

  • Lol at stupid people commenting here. I was planning a water level sensor for an irrigation system and while i was deciding between regular level sensors, IR or Ultrasound i found this video with the "proof of concept" that ultrasound works fine for the task.

  • you sad cat loving bastard

    and that goes for everyone else who watches any lame video envolving cats that arent tom n jerry

  • If you turn the power level up high enough, you can weld the cats head to the water dish and then you won't need to bother with stupid ideas any more.

  • no they cant. these are way above animals hearing range. yes they can hear higher pitches than we can, but not this high.

  • you should put a servo valve to let in water when the bowl is empty you could also do that for food

  • LAZY FUCK!

  • "I GUARANTEE that this fuckhead is a DEMOCRAT."

    That was an awesome non-sequitur.^^

  • what a dumb cock knocker. yea that's what all my energy is put toward putting my fucking cats water dish on twitter. this is why i don't have a flying fucking car.

  • do you know that cats hear that ultrasonic sound which might disturb them? do you actually have a cat that uses that waterbowl?
