Dog Whisperer

<h1>Dog Whisperer</h1> <h3>Two aspiring young teenagers (Miki and Gil) who received guidance from their mentor (Ariel) developed the initial concept in 2018. </h3> <p>The project was developed at the <a href="http://www.hemda.org.il/" title="With a Title"> Schwartz-Reisman Science Education Center</a> located in Tel-Aviv as part of their Makers program. The inspiration for the project came from Miki's dog, Josephine. Josephine is a blind dog. Because of her blindness, she would often bump into walls. That caused Miki and his family great distress, as they care for her deeply. </p> <p>The project allows blind dogs to move freely and reduce the stress and anxiety that most blind dog owners feel. The Dog Whisperer uses sonar technology to calculate its distance from an object and then sends an electric signal to the Arduino. The Arduino then activates a buzzer and alert the user by an app we are developing.</p> <h3><u>List of parts and Tools you will need in order to build one:<U></h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/3Pcs-ATmega328P-Arduino-Compatible-Nano-V3-Improved-Version-No-Cable-p-1047429.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Arduino Nano</a>1 Board</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Ultrasonic-Module-HC-SR04-Distance-Measuring-Ranging-Transducer-Sensor-p-40313.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Ultrasonic Arduino sensor HC-SR04</a>1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/Bluetooth-Serial-Port-Wireless-Data-Module-Compatible-SPP-C-With-HC-06-Arduino-Bluetooth-2_1-Mo-p-1297713.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Blutooth Module HC-06</a>1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/DC-1-30V-2-Pins-Passive-Electronic-Piezoelectric-Piezo-Buzzer-p-978657.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Piezo buzzer</a> 1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/1Pcs-ONOFFON-3-Position-SPDT-Round-Boat-Rocker-Switch-6A250V-10A125V-AC-p-1229047.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> On/Off switch</a> 1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/2PCS-INR18650-30Q-3000mAh-20A-Button-Top-Li-ion-Battery-With-Box-For-Samsung-p-1180498.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> 18650 rechargable Li-Ion battery</a> I use Samsung 30Q - 1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/1pcs-MT3608-2A-DC-DC-Adjustable-Step-Up-Power-Module-Booster-Power-Module-p-1213134.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> MT3608 Step Up module </a> - 1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/2-Pcs-TP4056-Micro-USB-5V-1A-Lithium-Battery-Charging-Module-Board-TE585-Lipo-Charger-p-1255763.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Li-Ion Micro usb charger </a> - 1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/Suleve-MXSH3-440Pcs-M3-M4-M5-Stainless-Steel-Button-Head-Hex-Socket-Cap-Screws-Bolts-Nuts-Assortment-Kit-p-1241839.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> M3/M5 allen hex screws kit</a> - 1 screws kit</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/10-Pcs-DIY-15cm-Silicone-AWG30-Cable-Flexible-Signal-Wire-for-RC-Model-Tool-DIY-Parts-p-1268218.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Silicon wires 30AWG</a> - 1 Pcs</li> <li><a href=https://www.banggood.com/6mm-Plastic-Flexible-Water-Oil-Coolant-Pipe-400500600mm-Cooling-Hose-For-Lathe-CNC-p-982038.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Flexible mount</a> - 1 Pcs</li> <li><a href="https://www.banggood.com/TEVO-Flash-98-Prebuilt-3D-Printer-Kit-235235250-Printing-Size-p-1311319.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Tevo </a> - We use this printer to print our stuff</li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2ledjxO/" title="With a Title"> Hatchbox PLA </a> - We use this PLA brand to print our stuff</li> <li><a href=https://www.banggood.com/8586-2-In-1-750W-Digital-ESD-Hot-Air-Gun-Soldering-Station-Welding-Solder-Iron-p-1304423.html?p=CZ2005204372201306X4/" title="With a Title"> Soldering station </a> - We use this soldering station to solder our wires</li> </ul> <h3><u>How to build it:</u></h3> <ul> <li>Watch project's <a href="https://youtu.be/T6gVpwWDiHg/" title="With a Title"> video</a> first to get an idea of what is about.</li> <li>Check out wiring. <strong> Caution when you're soldering 18650 Li-Ion batteries!<strong> If you are not sure how to do check out first videos and tutrials in the web.</strong></li> <li>Check out how we fixed in all the electronics.</li> <li>Download Arduino code from <a href="https://mega.nz/#!mccmkBSI!OzXEk-XRFn2_caScKTHHfSntx1np73kEoEAQW-2lD64/" title="With a Title"> Here.</a> </li> <li>Download AlphaSenseApp.APK and Install it on your device.
