Automatic Fish Feeder Using Arduino | DIY Project Tutorial
Welcome to my channel! In this video, I show you how to create an **Automatic Fish Feeder using Arduino**. This step-by-step tutorial is perfect for beginners and enthusiasts looking to automate their fish tank feeding schedule.
What's Inside:
- Detailed instructions to build an Arduino-based fish feeder
- How to use a servo motor and DS1307 RTC module
- Easy-to-follow code explanation
- Tips to customize the feeder for your aquarium
- Simple wiring:
- Connect the servo motor's signal wire to Pin 9, power to 5V, and ground to GND
- Connect the RTC module's SDA to A4 and SCL to A5, power to 5V, and ground to GND
Why Watch:
- Ensure your fish are fed on time, even when you're away
- Learn essential Arduino skills
- Save money by building your own fish feeder
- Great project for DIY and tech enthusiasts
