Aim
The aim of the project is feeder will automatically dispense food at the time the owner sets
Problem statement
Pet owners often face challenges in providing consistent and timely feeding for their pets, especially when away from home. The problem is to design an automatic pet feeder system that can reliably dispense the right amount of food at scheduled times, ensuring the well-being of pets while considering factors like food storage, ease of use, and adaptability to various pet types and feeding schedules.
Material used
Input: Timer
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer + RGB LED
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Timer
Buzzer
The function of the Buzzer is to produce alert
RGB LED
The function of the RGB LED is to emit light
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Timer and control the Buzzer and RGB LED.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When timer detects the time 9.00AM, the Timer sensor(input) turns on sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace Sensor board(brain). The sensor boards turns on the Buzzer(Output) and sets the angle of Servo Motor to 90 Degrees to open the food container
Case 2: When timer detects the time 4.00PM, the Timer sensor(input) turns on sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace Sensor board(brain). The sensor boards turns on the Buzzer(Output) and sets the angle of Servo Motor to 90 Degrees to open the food container
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the Ultrasonic sensor to INPUT 3 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Buzzer and RGB LED to Output 1 and Output 3 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
