Cat tweeter, order placed

Hi - your order is ready to ship!

SparkFun Electronics Order

Date Packed: 07/25/2012

Shipping Method: UPS Ground

Items shipping in this package:

Breakout Board for XBee Module x1
Logic Level Converter x1
Voltage Regulator - 3.3V x1
2mm 10pin XBee Socket x4
RFID Tag - 125kHz (retail pack of 5) x2
RFID Reader ID-12 (125 kHz) x1
RFID Reader Breakout x1
XBee 1mW Chip Antenna - Series 1 (802.15.4) x2
XBee Explorer USB x1

This is for my new tweeting cat project. The plan is to hook up the RFID Reader ID-12 to the XBee Series 1, and send data to the other XBee Series one which is hooked up using the XBee Explorer USB to my playstation 2, which will send tweets based on where the cat is. I'll put the RFID tags on the various places that the cat goes (drinks, litter box, other cat, cat toy, sleeping place, doorway, food bowl, et cetera). Biggest concern are the batteries, but I'll figure out what to do with that. Most likely it will need a harness to avoid the cat being entangled in wires, and to avoid the RFID chip getting into the water bowl.
