The little project i've been working on recently is finaly finished. This video shows the assembly process. More info is available on thingiverse: www.thingivers...
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.h > 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
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,
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.

Hello glen I’m new to programming and I was wondering if ur able to help me with it. What software do I use and code and what circuit board is that?

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.

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?
Yes ofcourse, the link is in the discription
@@glenwaelbers8968 thank you very much!
Hello Glen, can I get your design for feeder, and which software is used for designing?
Link is in the video discription, you will find the design, the used code and necessary parts there
🔥💕👌👍
Is this 3D printed can u give me the thing where u found it
Yes, it is my own design the link is in the discription of the video, but here it is again for you: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3093429
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
@@glenwaelbers8968 Thanks for quick reply
Hey Chakravarthi? Did mg995 work?
@@patricktan9990 yes.. it worked. flawlessly.. My learning here is I stated with 1A SMPS which blown in few days.. So now I settled with 2A SMPS
Chakravarthi PS great! Thanks for the tips too, waiting for my parts to arrive
