Automatic Pet Feeder using Arduino software.
Feed Fido with Precision. Yum.
Ever found yourself knee-deep in sawdust and realized you forgot to feed your furry friend?
Fear not, fellow woodworker!
Dive into a fantastic project by the brilliant creator at IoT Design - the Automatic Pet Feeder using Arduino.
Imagine impressing your pals not just with your impeccable woodworking but also with an automatic pet feeder that works like a charm!
This project employs a NodeMCU ESP8266 as the brain, a Servo motor to handle the feeding bottle, and a nifty 16*2 LCD for displaying the time.
Instead of an RTC module, it gets the time from NTP servers, ensuring ultra-precise timekeeping with fewer components.
Now, you can stay in the workshop longer, knowing your pet is fed right on time!
Pro Tip: When setting up the Servo motor, make sure it's well-calibrated to ensure smooth opening and closing of the feeding bottle.
