I am a high school student preparing for university entrance exams. As this is the final year of school, I put extra effort into preparing myself for university entrance exam. Therefore, it led me to an idea for a project to help minimize time in doing my everyday life chores. I built an automatic fish food dispenser to help me feed the fish while I concentrate on my study.
I built a simple automatic fish feeder from servo that I already have at home and container made from the corrugated plastic sheet, it's easy-to-find material, can keeps food prevented from moisture and water, moreover easy to install at tank. If you want to store more food, you can increase the size of container.
This simple automatic fish feeder can be use with any type of food and easy to manage. The code written here is suitable for number of fish I have, you can adjust speed and angle of servo as you like. This code will automate feed every 8 hours - Morning, afternoon and night .
#include<Servo.h>Servomyservo;// create servo object to control a servo// twelve servo objects can be created on most boardsintpos=0;// variable to store the servo positionvoidsetup(){myservo.attach(9);// attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object}voidloop(){for(pos=0;pos<=20;pos+=1){// goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees// in steps of 1 degreemyservo.write(pos);// tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'delay(5);// waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position}for(pos=20;pos>=0;pos-=1){// goes from 180 degrees to 0 degreesmyservo.write(pos);// tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'delay(5);// waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position}delay(480*60*1000UL);
