   To do:
   - remote feeding?
   - feeder stop delay as menu editable item

  last change:
  dinsdag 20 februari 2018 - 17:20:28

   FEATURES:
   - *Accurate portions* each time! (by using a Hall sensor)
   - Two feeding times, once a day
   - *Extremely* accurate Real Time Clock (Only with genuine DS3231 chip)
   - Cancel upcoming feeding individually for both timers with
     display and Led indicator. Automatically reset after time has passed.
   - Manual feed function (one portion per button press)
   - Adjustable portions for each of the two feeding times (1-9 portions)
   - Overview of all set parameters in the main screen
   - Easy to navigate menu system
   - LED indication if feeding was successful
   - LCD backlight timer (off after 30 sec, on with any button press)
   - Backup in the event of a failing Hall sensor
   - Hass sensor LED will blink until midnight if the Hall sensor has failed
   - Time and other settings are safely stored in EEPROM
