Automatic Fish Feeder Remixed

cults3d

I took the automatic fish feeder that pefozzy created and customized it to fit the components I had available. Specifically, I used a NANO arduino and a 9g micro servo (SG90). I also added a cap for the food bowl. The design is still a work in progress and has yet to be fully tested with the 3mm hole for portion size for one beta. I plan to do this soon. My daughter's beta fish is close to her heart, and I want to keep it alive while we go away on vacation. This feeder should help solve that problem. I've posted a video of my modifications online - you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/qMpVXPntwms To mitigate moisture issues with the betta food clogging the hole, I added a raised platform and a food slide at an angle for delivery. The materials I used were: * Nano Arduino (I used an elegoo) * 9g servo and servo horn * Miscellaneous screws After getting some insight from the original designer about moisture potentially being a problem with the betta food clogging the hole, I added these features to help solve that issue. By offsetting the feeding opening, I hope to minimize the impact of moisture on the food. **Update**: After positioning the slide over open water in the tank for a week and delivering food through it, I found that the food didn't absorb any water in the hopper. So far, this seems like a success! The arduino program for the nano is included in the files - you can check out the .ino file.
