#PIC #Raspi I'm planning to Make A H/W Device. I know, as a software devo the h/w is doomed to fail.

But what I want is to get a #PIC µ, a paired IR tx/dx, and one of those #RWTC listener gadgets that listens to USN's SAO satcast and can power circuits up and down, dropping the card into statis for time t. Then wake up 24hrs later and do it again.

Wicked low energy consumption. And it should be able to tell me if the level in the cat feeder device has dropped too low and needs refilling.
