PetInspect—A 16-Bit Wearable Computer For Pets

The M16C/62P microcontroller-based PetInspect can be used to monitor just about every facet of your pet’s life. This sophisticated data logger and wireless communications system monitors activity level, pressure (altitude), ambient and core body temperature, natural and artificial light intensity, and proximity. The entire system is enclosed in a 28-mm package, making it small and light enough for a cat to wear on a collar.
