MICROCONTROLLER

PROBLEM STATEMENT :

Designed to make feeding your pet easier, this new device makes sure your pet gets fed on time, every time, even when you're busy. With the ability to set the amount of food and schedule feeding times, the automatic pet feeder lets pet owners stick to a regular feeding routine without any hassle.
The main goal of this project is to create a system that can give the right amount of pet food at set times without needing any help from people. This is especially helpful when you can't be at home. It ensures your pet is well-fed and healthy, giving you peace of mind. Developing this automatic pet feeding machine solves the problem of worrying about your pet's meals when you're away.

INTRODUCTION :

The automatic pet feeding machine incorporates smart technology to enhance pet care routines. By connecting to a smartphone app, owners can adjust feeding schedules and portions remotely, receiving real-time notifications when their pet has been fed. The machine’s sleek design includes a transparent food reservoir, allowing owners to monitor food levels easily. Additionally, built-in sensors prevent overfilling and ensure that the correct amount of food is dispensed each time, reducing the risk of obesity or underfeeding.

Constructed with durable, pet-safe materials, the feeding machine is designed to withstand regular use while ensuring the safety of the pets. The feeding tray is removable and dishwasher-safe, making it easy to clean and maintain hygiene. Furthermore, the machine is equipped with a backup battery system, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during power outages. This reliability makes it an ideal solution for pet owners with busy schedules or those frequently away from home.

ABSTRACT :

The automatic pet feeding machine is a technologically advanced device designed to provide scheduled and portion-controlled meals to pets, ensuring their dietary needs are met even in the absence of their owners.

This innovative machine integrates a programmable timer, portion control settings, and an easy-to-use interface, facilitating precise meal delivery at pre-set intervals. Equipped with a robust storage container, the feeder maintains food freshness and prevents spillage.

The automatic pet feeding machine not only promotes healthy feeding habits but also offers pet owners convenience and peace of mind, knowing their pets are well-cared for at all times.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT :

Design and develop a prototype automatic pet food dispenser that detects the pet and dispenses food at scheduled times.
Integrate sensors to detect the pet approaching the food container.
Attach a buzzer to indicate food is dispensed.
Displays buzzer and sensor status, along with real-time date and time.
The motors allow the food to fall in the container and the container lid to open when the sensor detects the pet near the container box.

MATERIALS REQUIREMENTS :

Arduino Board
RTC Module (RTC_DS3231)
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
Servo Motor
Buzzer
IR Sensor

CONTROLLER USED :

WORKING PRINCIPLE :

The provided Arduino code operates an automatic pet feeding system. It utilizes an RTC module (RTC_DS1307) to keep track of the current date and time, displaying this information on a 16x2 LCD. At the start of each minute, the code triggers the rotation of two servo motors for a duration of five seconds, simulating the dispensing of food. During this time, a buzzer is activated to signal feeding. Additionally, an IR sensor is used to detect the presence of an object; if detected, a message is displayed on the LCD. This setup ensures timely feeding and provides visual and auditory feedback for monitoring the process.
