Automatic fish feeding design using PIC microcontroller / Qamarul Bahrain Mohd Badiuzzaman

This paper describes the design of an automatic fish feeder [1] and light controller for an aquarium using Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC). This paper will cover both hardware and software part. The feeder must dispense food twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening at specified times [2]. The lights of the aquarium must be turned on at a preset time in the morning and then turned off at night. This project was applied to feed certain kind of fish food only. The program is composed by three main parts: the initialization part, work mode setting part, and feeding part. All simulation and test was done using the MPLAB IDE version 7.41 programming.
