Automatic Rabbit feeder

thingiverse

Please note that this is my first ever post and that I was not planning on posting it but I received some requests and decided to do a post as this community has helped me allot in the past. This is a project I designed to feed our pet rabbits twice a day, the serving portions are about 24g thus I programmed it to serve two portions, twice a day. Things to note, the intake and exit are both 50mm diameter, I used a plumbing reducer from 110mm to 50mm plus a 110mm connector to create the "storage container" that the food is stored in. I used: 4 x 3mm nuts and bolts 2 x Barings outside diameter 16mm and inside diameter is 8mm. 1 x Arduino pro mini 5v version (Micro controller) 1 x DS1307 RTC (this is to keep time and date) 1 x Power HD Servo 3.5kg.cm Metal Gears(Bought it at https://www.robotics.org.za/HD-1711M) 1 x tactile switch and 10k resistor as a test/manual feed button. I have added the arduino code as Feeder_code.ino
