DIY ARDUINO CAT FEEDER - cat pushes button to get food
Переглядів 1,4 млн7 років тому
In our family we have a cat and also I have some spare arduino parts. Let's create an automatic electronic cat feeder! And train the cat to use it! Arduino, servo, button, power, 2 cans and a bowl = lots of fun for me and my cat. Smart and cute cat pushes the button to earn food. Circuit: drive.google.com/file/d/1Cpha5PhCjpp5cCY0KYCAVa4Q21_bhWO_/view?usp=sharing Code: gist.github.com/ulitiy/5c3...
your cat is clever
hi, i was about to start printing it and i realised you didn't post the electronics compartment without the battery part. I don't want to put some batteries because im remixing it a bit, you have the files or do i have to edit it by myself?
Hi. There are no files without battery, I decided not to support this version.
@@HungrysitesRu okay thank you for the great work on the model!
can someone teach me the circuit part? since im a newbie with this thing
How do you avoid it to get stucked?
Let me know if you have this problem. If not - let's not theorize.
So why the arduino if its as simple as cat push switch ... food drops ? Does ot limit endless freeding.. looks like all its doing is timing. Link to program ?
You're free to use whatever you want. Link is provided.
про проблему застревания ни слова
Всё продумано, нет такой проблемы. От пользователей тоже не слышал таких жалоб.
This seems complicated for a girl like me
Great🎉 idea
The basic program runs while the arduino board is USB-cable plugged to my laptop. When I unplug it and power the arduino with power 5V-2A, the board switches on but the code doesn't execute. I use only one power outlet for arduino uno rev 3 board and the servo motor mg996R is powered with the 5V/GND pin of the arduino board. Is the issue the powering stuff ?
Also, I was thinking, is a good thing to just replace the unique power outlet I use with a 12V?
How do you know that the code doesn't execute? You can upload a blink example to see if it blinks with LED. Maybe it does execute but 5V isn't enough for your servo? It happens. You can replace with 12V but it's too much for the servo and the internal converter of arduino could be too small to give enough amps to the servo. How do you connect your 5V to the board, with USB or with barrel connector? You should use USB.
I use the barrel connector to power the board and I don't use any daughter board to power the servo. The servo is directly plugged to the 5v pin of the arduino board. I do know that the code doesn't execute completely because it does a rotation but it stops and doesn't rotate back as I wrote in my program. Maybe there's not enough current or there can be drops too? I'll try same thing but with the usb powering way and I'll keep you posted. Thanks!
@@quentingourier4883 if you use a 5v barrel into a 12v port and then try to take 5v from the board after regulator, that's the issue. You should connect 5v barrel directly to the 5v on the board. Or the easier hacky way is to bridge vin and 5v.
Awesome video. Thank you for the files and instructions.

Cool project! I saw the RTC isn`t included into the sketch, is there an update available where did you included it?
Yeah, I forgot it. See in the description.
@@HungrysitesRu oh I found the sketch on the git revisions. 👌🏼
There are not supporter during printing. Can it be? I don't have much experience 3D printing, please advice me!
The design was specifically made to be printed without supports, yes.
Yes so good I do data engineering and I'm interested in this
Pls suggest how to remove the support pieces from nylon
1. Try not to use support if possible 2. Play with support and retraction settings. Usually making denser grid pattern, thicker interface and varying distance between interface and the part could be helpful
What's the different function between 3 microswitches in this cat feeder sirr?(based on your program)
More, less, dispense now. But it's really up to you.

soryy. can i use sg90 servo?
You can try but I think it's too weak for this.
Very smart
Hey! Do you also have the prusa files ? :D
Nope
This is a very nice and simple project. However, for me my place has ants problem and I can see there are gap between the cans, how would you suggest to modify the design prevent the ants from getting in.
I don't really know, it's a separate engineering issue that needs thorough investigation

how much the 3d printed assemble weights

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.
Hi really liked your creation, What were all the equipments you used in the video? Where did you get them from ?
I soley print in carbon fiber filaments... nylons, peek/pek-cf, pet-cf and glass fiber nylons. I print at 💯% infill and never getting warping, creep, or peeling. Here is my GUARANTEED settings for all nylons 1st, with all nylons i ONLY use carbon fiber beds, g10 beds, or my titanium pei board. I ONLY use elmers magic disappearing purple glue sticks with all nylons!!! It never peels off the bed and pops right off after! I print at 280°c mostly and 290°c also. I set the bed temperature at 90°c for the 1st 4 layers.... and here is the most IMPORTANT PART!!! drop the bed temp all the way down to 30/32°c after the 1st few layers. Enclosed printer and keep the inside at 70 to 72°c Use this and thank me later.
Thanks for the recipe. Yes, the fibers help a lot to reduce warping. But could be undesirable sometimes.
Can you show a more detailed version of the wiring? I might make this, and want to know exactly how to insert the wiring. Thanks! (Also, mine is a plug in one.)
No, sorry, I do not provide detailed support anymore and I made the project free.
@@HungrysitesRu Oh ok, thanks!
UwU
I print in nylon for a long time now and I realized that printing with the bed cold generally makes the best prints. I have no warping at all and the only thing I use is regular white glue. Sometimes I see people using 105° C or more and I wonder if anyone ever tried turning it off completely.
Sure I tried, it's just gone after 10 layers or so. I guess it's very different for different brands of filament, surface type and preparation.
Great design. I would like to use with a NEMA 17 stepper motor, is that possible? Also, my cat eats four times a day. I would like to slowly reduce his intake as he is a fat cat. Can additional daily feeding times be added easily? Thank you for a great project very well documented.
Feel free to modify any way you want, the code and the model are available for free. I can provide no additional support though.
how do u make the new brim or is it just the slicer app that is shown in the video? anyone who watches the video obv hasnt downloaded the app yet, so there is no way to tell
The apps are slic3r and fusion360, and it's the standard pretty much.
Hello, total new to this. How do you make it work on batteries? This looks great to build for stray cats
Can i use a MG955 servo instead
Sure
Can somebody help with code for Rasperry pi pico
I am having an issue where my top layer corners are warping. Any suggestions?
Hey this is a great little project for you cat :D , i was wondering how you made your button like that?
It's a broken Ikea timer with a "micro switch" on top of it with some piece of plastic glued to the lever. And the wires go through the timer out the back of it.
@@HungrysitesRu thankyou so much for the response 👍🏾
Can you please build a drinker for pets with IOT?
I own rabbits. I leave them in cages for many reasons. So I'm trying to come u with a simple system to make an automatic feeder to feed all of them depending on the size of the rabbit. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you so much!
Would you mind sharing what was the total cost for this project?
I don't remember exactly, I think it's about $30 with cheap PLA and Arduino clones
@@HungrysitesRu oh wow! That’s pretty good! Thank you for the quick reply! Amazing channel, by the way 👏🏾
great idea! what a nice finish, parabens. could you please pass the parameters of speed, extrusion and retraction? greetings from brazil
It depends a lot on the material and the printer so my parameters are pretty much useless for you. It's a matter of tuning in every material you print with, it takes 1 hour usually. My printer is very customised and I use Esun ePA here.
Super cool
bang arduino apa bang
Hello ! A big thanks for your project/video ! Now i have a small question : is it possible to power this using the usb port on the arduino instead of the DC connector? I think i saw somewhere that it is also 5V. Thnaks again :)
You can definitely do that but this servo can stall up to 2.5 amps at 7V, that's quite a lot for most of the USB ports and chargers. I tested 2 amp apple charger, it works, but 1 amp charges sometimes don't.
Also if you use arduino internal 12->5V converter, it's rated 5V 0.8 amps, that is even lower. So you have to use big capacitors or take the risk of something not working or even being damaged.
@@HungrysitesRu ok so better use the DC connector then 😅 thanks , i'm new to electronics !
Is there a way of making this pc compatible where it is somehow connected to the pc and have it work via a software or by clicking a keyboard keybind?
Sure, arduino can talk to a computer through USB interface but you have to write a few lines of code for that.
My cats drop a metal bucket, and they will play with such a design like a mouse.
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
Thank you. I'm sorry, I do not provide support anymore. You can find similar items to what I have in the parts list and see the wiring diagram and sample code in the description.
@@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.
I'm probably the same age and your mom and I concur! So proud of you honey xoxo
cat approved!
