Abstract

An automatic fish feeder is a device that automatically feed the fish at a predetermined time. In a way, it is to control the fish feeding activity by using a fish feeder that combined the mechanical system and electrical system to form a device instead of manually feeding the fish by hand. Fish owners whom are away for a long time will have trouble knowing the situation of the pond or aquarium. Thus such device is very convenient. At the same time, the environment needs to be monitored. For this paper, I will monitor the environment in term of water temperature. First of all, the device will consist of a motor, stand, fish storage, PLC (Programmable Logic Circuit) and a GSM (Global System for Mobile). The device will feed the fish by dropping the feed from the storage through a hole. The size of the hole is controlled by a piece of block connected to a motor. A timer is used to control the number of feeding time at an interval of time. Plus, there is a feedback system that sense the level of feed left in storage. It will give warning to the user through SMS (Short Messaging Service) so the user will put new feed into the storage. With this, the user or the owner can be away from home with the device monitoring the aquarium condition.
