This is the circuit schematic. You can change it up if you need to. If you do, just remember to make the same adjustments in the code.

Fusion 360 and STL files on my Github

Here are all the fusion 360 files in case you want to customize them for different component sizes. I have also provided the STL files. The only model not on there is the tube for the hall sensor. That should be pretty easy to model and print.

Hello ! I really like your project. For my final paper I have to make very similar project. I have to set up web server on raspberry pi zero w. When I go to server there has to be button (feed the pet) and pic taken with camera connected to rpi zero w. When I press the button the food should fall out of the dispenser. Do you have any advice? How to create web server on rpi. Should I connect rpi and servo directly or via arduino? Ty!!

instead using arduino nano R3, can I use arduino uno R3 ?

I would say delete the libraries and reinstall them. Did you install them in the right place? Try some of the examples that come with the library and see if you are still having the same issue.

Everything is connected, the display shows the first feeding ready but does not respond to any button. Any advice?

Very sorry for the late reply. Were you able to get it working? What are you attempting to do with the buttons? I would say use the serial monitor to check and make sure that your button pushes are being registered and that they are only being registered once.

Hi, I do have the same problem. I looked in the serial monitor and it is written: ''I'm in Jiggle". No signal from any bottom if I pushed.

This is one Cool Project. Way to look out for your furry member of the family. I had been thinking of making a fish feeder; the only ones I could find were either for a pond (too big, too expensive) or too small (made for a tank less than 100 gallons). Thank you soo much for sharing. I don't know what it will look like but however it turns out I will be sure to share. thanks again, you are a great inspiration.
