INTRODUCTION

Automated pet feeder with self-filling water bawl is a device that can serve your pit
automatically when you set up this device timely or days that you feed your pet. This device is
very helpful to you to serve your pet even if you forget to feed your pet because it can serve the
food automatically when the time you set up is come. This device is applicable in your house
specially to your house pet. Automatic Pet Feeder which can automatically serve food to your pet
timely. It has a DS3231 RTC (Real Time Clock) Module, which used to set time and date on
which your pet should be given food. So, by setting up the time according to your pet’s eating
schedule, the device drops or fill the food bowl automatically.

In this circuit, we are using a 16*2 LCD to display the time using DS3231 RTC Module with
Arduino UNO. Also, a servo motor is used to rotate the containers to provide the food and 4*4
matrix keypad to manually set up the time for feeding the Pet. You can set the rotation angle and
container opening duration according to the quantity of food you want to serve to your pet. The
quantity of food may also depend upon your pet whether it’s a dog, cat, or bird.
Background of the problem

This paper addresses the above issue by introducing the Automatic pet Feeder to make sure that
our ground pet gets proper food on time. It consists of food storage, servo motor, dispenser,
feeding bowl, 16*2 LCD Screen, DS3231 RTC Module, 4*4 Matrix Keypad, Resistor (1k),
Connecting Wires, Relay, Push button, Transistor (BC 547), Diode (4007), Breadboard.

It also features Arduino to automatically control the whole system. Automatic pet feeder with
self-filling water bowl is designed for ground pet, to dispense specific portions of pet food at
certain times, so they ensure that your pet will be well feed on time. In addition, it has a great
advantage for pet owners, as it takes care of feeding them while you are traveling. In fact, they
are programmable to give meals whenever you want. In turn, they help you control the amount of
food, since it will only dispense specific amount of food. This way you will not have to worry
about your animals being overweight if they tend to eat too much. Another advantage is that it
helps you adhere to a schedule, since animals get used to a routine. Remember that your pet
should follow them, if your work schedules are complicated and you are very busy.

Today, we're making an Automatic pet feeder with self-filling water bowl that can serve food to
your pet on demand. It includes a (Real Time Clock) Module for setting the time and date when
your pet should be fed. As a result, by setting the time according to your pet's feeding schedule,
the unit will automatically drop or fill the food bowl.

The time is shown on a LCD. A servo motor rotates the containers to supply the food, and
keypad is used to manually set the feeding time for the Pet. Depending on whether your pet. The
amount of food required can vary. It is used to maintain the date and time for most of the
Electronics projects.

So, once we set the date and time in this module it will keep track of it always. According to the
time, set up by the Pet’s owner, like an alarm. As, clock reaches to the set time, it operates the
servo motor to open the container gate and the food drops in the Pet’s food bowl. This product is
for pet, lovers to keep and schedule to eat. When the owner is away or otherwise occupied, an
automatic pet feeder is provided to feed pets a predetermined amount of food or medicine at
predetermined times.

Where’s the objective of the study?

Scope and limitations of the study

Scope

 The pet feeder is customizable in the way that the quantity and time of food released will
be controlled, the system will be able to hold any type of pet food and which type will be
dispensed.
 The system will have a time and will be automatic. The inputs include clock times, set
time from the user, customized food amount and an on/off for the system. The result of
the system will display the time and at set time, a motorized latch will open and close and
ring an alarm. The food will be controlled by a latch and the liquids will be a controlled
by a valve. This will be both a sequential and combinational logic design. The inputs will
be a timed clock circuit and counters which cause the motors to run.

Limitations

 This device can’t handle large amount of food it can only save food good for 2 pets.
 The pet feeder includes a lack of variety in sound, requires a timely manual food and
water fill.
 Digital system will be that it requires a reset in the clock.
 LITERATURE REVIEW

Review of related literature, studies and systems

An automated pet feeder is provided for feeding pets predetermined quantity of food or
medication at predetermined times while the owner is absent or otherwise engaged. It will help
you feeding your pet on time.

The main benefit of using an automated feeder is that, you can limit the amount of food that you
want your pet to eat. That means with an automatid feeder device you can set the amount and
time. The machine will supply only that much amount of food at the preset timings. Moreover,
an automatid pet feeder can help you to dispense the desired amount of food you want to give
your pet to eat throughout the day in numerous shares. Thus you can ask the pet sitter to come
less frequently to your home to check on your pet while you are on a trip (SEO, 2017).

Stoney (2014), proposed that the “Internet controlled pet feeder. The invention provides
automated, multi-meal pet feeding apparatuses for use by pet owners and caretakers. Such
apparatuses may include a communications module for connection to a communications
network, such as the Internet, so that functions of the pet feeder, such as feeding times, can be
programmed or otherwise controlled from a remote location. The apparatuses may also include a
built-in digital camera with or without a microphone so that apet's feeding activity and
environment can be monitored remotely.“

This device may differ to ours but the difference is that it is internet controlled which is may help
to improve our device, which is it gives us an idea but then it depend on the area because not all
the place have strong connections to the internet. And the idea of built-in camera is nice to add
so that you will monitored your pets.

According to Goh (2018), in “Remote controlled movable pet feeder device has proposed: A pet
feeder device whose movements and dispensing/feeding times can be controlled remotely by a
software application on a computing device, comprising: a wireless transceiver configured to
send and receive data packets over a wireless network; at least one food storage compartment; a
food dispensing port configured to provide access to the at least one food storage compartment; a
locomotive device; and a control system configured to: communicate with the wireless
transceiver; control operation of the locomotive device in order to cause movement of the pet
feeder device; and control access to the food storage compartment."

The device is locomotive that cause movement to the pet feeder, the idea of it is good also. With
the help of the built-in camera you can find your pet and move the pet feeder so that the pet will
find his/her food it will come to them. This article will help in the future to enhance the device it
will give them an idea but it depends on the necessity of the pet lovers or people.
