The Critter Detection & Deterrence project is intended to fill a niche in the pest control industry that many environmentally conscience people wish to see filled. The system is mobile, easily deployable, and most importantly, does not cause lasting damage to would be pests. The design is centered around a Raspberry Pi 5, which is connected to camera module and two motor drivers (one for rotation and another for the hose valve). The microcontroller takes video inputs from the camera and analyzes them through the YOLO v8 image recognition software, which is run locally on the machine. From these inputs, the system can control a central stepper motor, which can generate 180 degrees of rotation for the device, as well as an analog ball valve that creates a variable hose water pressure, allowing for an adjustable target range. The most notable challenge from this project was the water proofing; the top heavy final design was created to ensure that any leakage from the hose did not drip onto the components and cause a short circuit, this in turn added a significant amount of weight for the motor that was not accounted for in earlier calculations. Additionally the hose did not turn at its base, causing it to give more resistance the further from "center" it swiveled. Both of these challenges were mitigated by sizing up our stepper motor for our final design.
