Enrichment for zoo elephants
so work @ zoo , i'm trying use arduino enrich animal's lives as possible. goal of project encourage physical activity in african elephants.
in perfect world there 5+ speakers scattered around exhibit. @ random times throughout day, 1 of speakers begin playing music. if elephant walks near speaker, motion detector see them , trigger sequence of events. first, motion detector activate sort of feeder drops food in front of elephant, rewarding elephant moving towards music. second, motion detector turn off current speaker , activate different randomly selected speaker. process repeat predetermined amount of time elephants encouraged walk around exhibit.
i broke project few parts 1 i'm focused on playing music. i've seen ton of examples using sd card play small files on small speakers need hook sd card decent sized waterproof speakers.
does know best (and cheapest) way of doing this? elephants thank you!
