From Software to Hardware: How Do I Track My Cat with JavaScript
summary
Raspberry Pi camera sits by the food bowl with a cheap PIR motion sensor on GPIO, Node.js spawns raspistill to capture 320x240 images and forks a separate process for expensive image processing, then runs cat-face detection on canvas and uploads hits to the cloud while dumping negatives. Hardware is a Pi 2 upgraded to Raspberry Pi 3, the detector produces false positives but mostly works and triggers SMS via Nexmo when a cat is seen.
