4.developing Fish Feeder System Using Raspberry Pi
AIM:
The main aim of this project is to feed the fishes by scheduled timings automatically and
maintain the login schedule.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
An automatic fish feeder is an electronic device that is designed to feed fish at regular intervals.
They are often used when the fish’s owners is on vacation or too busy to maintain a regular
feeding schedule. However, this device does come with their own drawback. For instance, most
automatic fish feeder had problem of controlling the amount of fish feed released. Too much and
it will pollute the water in the tank and too little will led to starvation. Another drawback is the
lack of monitoring and instant feedback from the fish feeder. Due to this, the fish owners are
unaware of the problems with their fish or if their feeder malfunction
DESCRIPTION:
The Fish owners of the pet fish are usually distressed when they are away from home
environment because they could not feed the fish on time. Both reasons, food starvation
and overfeeding risk the health of fish and leads to poor water quality in indoor fish tanks.
Thus monitoring the fish feeder is of great importance which can be very beneficial for the
fish owners. This work is aimed to design a fish feeder system using microcontroller and
Raspberry Pi based web application to relax the distressed fish owners in feeding their fish
on time. This system is designed to overcome the problem of fish dying due to fish feeder
malfunction. With this design, the fish owner can monitor the fish tank for correct
functioning of the fish feeder. Also, the user can set schedules for feeding the fish through
the web application.
The first is the web interface module. The web interface act as the medium for user to accessed
the fish feeder by using the internet. In this module, the web interface is design to have a user
interface that the user can send command to the fish feeder. The user sends the command by
pressing the input button for each fish feeder functions. The web interface also can only be
access by entering the user ID. The user ID will later being authenticated by finding a match in
the database that located in the Microcontroller.
