Hey Thomas, I'm using an arduino uno board and the arduino IDE software (you can get the software for free on the arduino website). There are a lot of tutorials online about programming with arduino's. It is not that hard thrust me 😉. Understanding code is really important to learn coding properly, so make sure to do a lot of research. The code that is used for my little project is the following: #include Servo myservo; int pos = 0; void setup() { myservo.attach(9); } void loop() { myservo.write(85); delay(2000); myservo.write(90); delay(86400000); } Good luck with you're first arduino expierence Greetings Glen

Glen Waelbers thanks mate this will help me out a lot with the build with the automatic fish feeder, and the USB and the connectors to the servo do they come with it or do I have to buy them

Usb is included in the arduino package, for connecting the servo to the arduino you will need a few male to male jumper wires. Like these: m.aliexpress.com/item/32707441546.html?pid=808_0000_0201&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.32707441546&aff_trace_key=&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=5057amp-mrkNlbsJUKs3uGN1LAMQrQ1551890004633

Hi Glen, thanks for your free design. This design suits my automatic aquarium school project very well. Hope to see you with new designs.

Nice works Sir,Its very clear information

great work, should have shown how it works as well and the coding, i was looking at doing one as well but retro fitting the arduino board to an existing fish feeder,

Thanks, I made a second and improved version actually, might make a video soon but not sure yet.

There can be trouble with the food jamming the auger in the tube but I think that is why you have the tapered end of the tube where the food enters. Is that correct, does it ever jam?

I used mine for 2 years without any jams, the food is small compared to the auger (depending on the food you are using ofcourse) also the auger is pretty powerful. The tapered side is there to maximize the size of the food storage and still make sure the food gets to the auger without getting stuck. Why not make the opening to the auger bigger and not tapered you might ask? To make sure the length of the tube between the storage and exit is long enough to prevent the storage from being in direct contact with the exit.

I saw you designed the bowl feeder ... can you add a normal aquarium holder?

🔥💕👌👍

thank you, brother! Could I use your 3D design to make one?

Hello Glen, can I replace DS04-NFC with MG995 360 degree servo ?

It looks like they are the same size, so I think it will work
