TEAM MEMBERS: Kyle R. Schumann Paul M. Carrington Michel E. Ramirez Sponsor: David Irek Faculty Advisors: Dr. Ana Goulart Dr. Wei Zhan Pet Protect Capstone Design Review 13 October 2008

Handlers will travel to many events across the country in a recreational vehicle. Typically, a traveling kennel will consist of six dogs and can be valued from $10k- 100k. It has been known for dogs to die from heat resulting from a power loss, costing the owner financial and emotional pain. When there is a loss of power, this can lead to many problems. HELP!!!

RVs typically use shore power or generator Power can often be lost which leads to bad things No Air Conditioning Temperatures changes rapidly Maybe smoke from a fire if generator malfunctioning Carbon Monoxide buildup from generator can seep into RV This puts stress on the dog which can lead to lack of performance or even death. This is a huge emotional and financial loss to the owner/handler.

Traveling kennels typically consists of six dogs per handler. These kennels are valued anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000. This relates to thousands of dogs in attendance at the show. This year’s winner, Uno, has stud fees estimated to be over $1000.

Detect for Smoke Carbon Monoxide Temperature change Power Loss Alert via SMS Message Audible alarm to be heard within vicinity of RV Developed on the behalf of dog enthusiasts everywhere Prevent untold amounts of financial and emotional grief.

The following slides and videos go over the technical aspects of the project They will discuss the operation and circuitry of each individual element of the project Videos with demonstrations will be shown for those parts that can not be safely demonstrated live These include a demonstration of all of our sensors

Over the counter model Audio amplification needed Has ability to record a personal message Work in progress as to interface with PIC

Using Q24+ with SD Interface with PIC using I 2 C Using Pay-as-you-Go service for sending messages $5 = 200 SMS messages per month PCB development board populated U.FL connector to GSM antenna through SMA connector

We were able to make the best of our summer break and made good progress. The Pet Protect is progressing well and is currently on time and under budget It will be completed at this time within the full scope of its defined and agreed upon nature.
