CatGenie: A smart, resettable SaniSolution cartridge using Arduino

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By Tech Master

The project This project follows on from the excellent work by ScotSEA and his Arduino reset program (see http://www.instructables.com/id/CatGenie-Resetting-a-SaniSolution-Cartridge/ ). I had never taken my Catgenie apart as Scott did, but had built a small contact board instead. I had previous updated Scott’s program to so that it output some debugging output to the computer during the …
