Im happy to finally find your video on this sea! Thank you so much! I bought a petsafe smart feed in february this year. which is very similar to the format of your project. I live in germany and i asked my brother to install it in a opendoors (but covered) space in a small farm in brazil. I have three cats living in that farm. All I ask my brother to do is to fill the petsafe compartment with food every 9 days. After all these months using it, my cats bring attention to this equipment and other cats started appearing in the area. I can follow everything that happens there by a camera. I programmed food to be delivered 2 times a day. The three of my cats follow a line. There is no fight. Everything goes smooth. Once one finish, other assume the dish, until the last one. The problem is that this place is open. There are no fences. One of the invasor cats started to appear when my cats are there eating. This invader sometimes just ignore who is on the dish and just go there and start eating. It is really annoying. The invasor do not respect nothing. I started to think how is possible to close the dish by remote control when such an invasor appear. Maybe a lid that closes the dish when I see the invasor is around. Then I just close the lid until the invasor learns that this dish was not designed for him and just leave my three cats in peace. Hope you can help me to think on how to do something. Thank you so much for your project. It inspires a lot. I dont know what servo to use. I know a little bit about how to control it using raspberry. Please let me know if you can give me some drives on how to proceed to implement a lid on the dish. 🤞🏼✨😺😺😺

Hi! Thank you for your warm words. I don't think its a good question in the context of this video, it's a separate issue. Basically, yes, you either create a new device with the new requirements for it. Or you add a cover+small servo to the existing device as a hack. You can use mg995/996 servo for this purpose or even something smaller like sg90. Choose your way and just pursuit. It's not hard to code and these servos have a driver inside, no need for complex logic, RPI + 5-6v power supply is enough to work with it.

5:15 if you want to make your switches have less throw you can remove the metal arms off the microswitches and move them closer, or add a spacer for upgrading existing prints. Cool project!

1. Prusa i3 mk3s 2. Probably. I haven't owned rabbits but for hamsters I would be concerned about them eating the plastic away to get to the food. For long pellets it would probably require to increase the gap above the feeding wheel, that means you would have to move the hopper upwards and the shell would be too high for my printer to print in one piece. I wouldn't recommend lowering the hopper height because then it would be too shallow angle to print.

Hi there, thank you for the design and tutorial. We built the DC circuit version so far and everything seems to work. We don't know what the buttons do exactly in the default program but we do see the motor move, could you let us know? and does it feed automatically with the default code in your link or does that take some extra work on our part? if the default code includes automatic feeding how often does it feed and how does it know when to start?

The buttons change the portion size (the time that the servo turns, movement just indicates that the feeder understood the command) and the middle one is just to force dispense food once. fpf12h.ino serves food once every 12 hours, first serving is done immediately after plugging into the socket.

Hi there! awesome design! Why did you choose for a hopper system? instead of a belt, or a screw driven transport system. was it more reliable? or just better looking ;)

@HungrysitesRu

2 жыл бұрын

belt is harder to manufacture DIY-style but I think it's the best option because it cannot jam if you dispense from the top of the feeder. Also you can use any bowl at the bottom. I don't think there's a big difference between screw and the wheel. Screw eats horizontal space, wheel eats the vertical one. There should be a hopper anyways if you want to use all the food you put into it. Even if you use a belt. Also probably a cheap stepper would be better than a continuous servo to make it more precise.

Love it! but how did you teach your cat to operate this feeder? ;)

Hi! You can even solder them in, it doesn't really matter, you just need the correct endpoints to be connected. If you want a modular prototype then I'd recommend bying all three types - f-f, m-f, m-m, if you're going to try other projects, these will help a lot. The absolute minimum is 3 wires male to female to connect the board to the servo. As for the buttons, there are no pins so you have to solder/twist the wires there. You can use the same male to female and strip one end to be soldered to the button. Though the feeder can be functional with only a servo+arduino.

@HungrysitesRu

파루_KZread you can. Basically the "continuous rotation servo" is not a servo, it's a DC motor with an embedded driver. But if you want to use standalone DC motor then you have to 1. change the model to fit your specific DC motor, 2. use an external driver or MOSFET to connect it to arduino because the current of arduino is not enough and you will burn your microcontroller if you don't use MOSFET. 3. you will have to significantly change the code because it's written for the servo. So if you don't want to spend days of making all these changes or don't have the qualification then I'd strongly recommend using the servo, it's only 10usd to buy one. I definitely can help to find an error in your code or recommend the ways you can change the model to accomodate the motor but I can't spend hours doing this. If at some point you feel that's not enough please message me on cubebrush in the next several days so I could refund your purchase before it's too late according to their TOS. Regards!

​@@falconych Arduino contains a microcontroller. You can program anything you can imagine into it. It's not that hard if you try. In my case there's 10 minutes limit 2 feedings, 24 hours limit 6 feedings. RTC isn't necessary to track time because Arduino can handle that well enough on its own (if the power delivery is consistent). But for the battery version I recommend it because Arduino isn't that good in tracking time during the deep sleep. It has to be in a deep sleep to save battery (2 months vs 2 years battery life).

It was fully redesigned several times because of jamming issues with the previous versions. In this version - no jams ever. 1. Gap high enough to let food get through 2. Blades are rotated so there's no point when the entire blade is against the hopper corner 3. Blades have a triangular profile so the last part that is against the hopper corner is much lower than the first one so it has more space for food to get through 4. Software has two forward one back nature so even if something gets stuck it will release in the next cycle. I.e. 500ms forward,100ms back, 300ms forward, 100ms back for one feeding. Also there are parameters for the blades height and the gap height so it's pretty easy to change.

Is this better than your previous one made with pringles box?

@MomWillBeProud

4 жыл бұрын

Previous one is cheaper and better keeps flavour. This one looks much better, it's sturdier and more convenient to clean, transport, add more food. Also this one doesn't need a power brick but this feature you can also add to the previous one. The portion size is much more consistent. Both work well, just a matter of personal preferences and priorities. If you want something cheaper or don't have a 3D printer - the first one is fine.

Great Job, Great Science Fair Project! The video provides a nice summary of assembly and parts list is solid; although many things in 2023 are backorder on Amazon. Could use some help with the details of wiring; we are novices with electronics in our house... Guess we are not as smart as the 6-year old in the video. :-) Anyway, Thanks and if someone has a separate video for wiring and coding (e.g, how to load the code onto the Audrino Nano board... that would be GREAT!) #FatPetFeeder #WiringHelp

@@MomWillBeProud Thanks Much! Got it working just fine; awesome Science Project for my 5th grader! Only thing now is we are not quite smart enough with code to understand how to TEST the time parameters? Trying to TEST setting a time and see whether it automatically serves... Be not sure which parameters to change in the code? Figured out the feeder options and turning of the servo motor; no problem... Thanks in advance if you can send along any pointers on which variables to change for TIME OF DAY testing.

@@glenjohnaz There's no time of day option in the code provided. You can totally learn to do that depending on the RTC clock you use. Without RTC clock it's not possible to keep track of time well with Arduino.

@@MomWillBeProud Thanks. I don't quite understand the use of the MOSFET. Is that so the boost converter only triggers when the servo is called to run? How are you powering the arduino off just three D-cells? Doesn't the arduino require at least 5V?

@MomWillBeProud

4 жыл бұрын

1. MOSFET cuts the current to boost and servo. It saves a lot of battery life. 2. I use arduino at 8MHz (burn the respective bootloader) and 3V is enough. It can also work even at 1.8V@4MHz. 3. If you want to save even more battery you need to cut the leads to the internal linear converter. Otherwise it will drain in weeks.
