Could you build this?
No This project requires custom embedded firmware development for IoT collar hardware, BLE/sensor data acquisition, and hardware debugging that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Building paw-link requires an embedded C/C++ or Rust firmware stack running on microcontrollers like ESP32 or nRF52, interfacing with accelerometer/GPS sensors over I2C/SPI and managing BLE GATT profiles. The mobile side uses Flutter with BLE libraries to sync and visualize sensor behavior data. The key hurdle is hardware-in-the-loop embedded engineering, power budget optimization for long battery life, and reliable physical sensor calibration.
