myRIO Pet Sitter

Overview of what project is:


According to the Humane Society of the United States, there are more than 75 million dogs and 85 million cats owned in the U.S. Many of those pets spend long hours alone while their people are at school or work.  The myRIO Pet Sitter gives pet owners a way to check in on and interact with their furry friends, if they are not able to make it home.

The Pet Sitter is a customizable, multifunction system that allows you to remotely give your pet food, water, and treats, watch him on a webcam feed, and even talk to him.  The Pet Sitter takes advantage of the easy-to-use myRIO LabVIEW API to make adding or modifying functionality easy.

Very nice project.  I am interested in looking at your code for this project.  I cannot find the link to myRIO Pet Sitter.zip anywhere on this page.  It says it is attached but I cannot find the attachment. 

Thanks
