How to make an automatic fish feeder

In this tutorial we will see how to make an automatic fish feeder with arduino nano, a 28byj-48 stepper motor with its respective controller. In addition, a real-time PSTN or clock is included, ds1307 although it also serves the ds3231, which will allow us to configure the system to do the food download at the scheduled time, it includes the source code, the gerber file, the stl files to print the feeder, all totally free as always.

Circuit

We will use pins 2, 3, 4 and 5 for stepper motor control, and A4 pins with the SDA pin of the PSTN module, and pin A5 with PSTN SCL.

Materials

An Arduino nano

The Arduino Nano is a small board, complete and compatible with the test board based on the ATmega328 (Arduino Nano 3.x). It has about the same functionality as the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package. It only lacks a DC power connector and works with a Mini-B USB cable instead of a standard one.

A module rtc ds1307

Description

The PSTN module is based on the high-precision, real-time DS1307 clock module.

Through the I2C interface to communicate with singlechip, you can read year, month, day, week, hour, minute, second, you can read up to 2100.

The Control interface is I2C.

Recommended voltage: cc 5 V, the module direction is 0x68, the Control interface level is 5
V or 3.3 V. The DS1307 series real-time clock (RTC) is a low power full binary code (BCD) decimal code decimal time /calendar.
Plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred in series via an I2C, two-way bus.
The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month and year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with less than 31 days, including year-to-year jump corrections. The clock works in 24 hours or 12 hour format with AM/PM indicator. The DS1307
has a built-in power sensing circuit that detects power failures and automatically switches to the backup supply.
The timing operation continues while the part operates from the backup supply.

Features

VCC supply voltage specification: 4.5 x 5.5 V;

Battery Voltage: 3.5V x 2.0; H

Igh level input: 2.1 vvcc + 0.3 V;

Low-level input:-0.3 x + 0.8 V;

Control Interface: 4-pin (GND, VCC, SDA, SCL), GND for ground wire, VCC for power supply, SDA for I2C interface data cable, SCL for I2C interface clock cable;

Real-time IC: DS1307Z; Independent synchronization: Through the I2C interface they communicate with MCU.

Battery: CR1220 battery;

Hole installed: 4m2 screw hole, diameter hole: 2.2mm, easy to install.
