This kit lets you build a clock-driven feeding station that automatically dispenses a set portion of dry food at the times you program. The Arduino Uno reads the DS3231 real-time clock, compares it against your schedule, and triggers an SG90 servo to tip a hopper flap - exactly when your furry friend expects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will assemble and code a complete automatic pet feeder prototype. The system waits until a pre-set hour, then actuates the servo for a calibrated duration, releasing one portion of food. A 16�2 LCD connected via I2C shows the next scheduled feed time and the total portions dispensed so far. Three tactile buttons let you set the time, adjust feeding windows, or trigger a manual feed. Once finished, you'll have a working model ready to mount above a bowl, with all the logic you can later expand to IoT or a mobile app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterface the DS3231 RTC with Arduino and configure multiple alarm-triggered events\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControl an SG90 servo with millisecond precision to dispense a consistent food portion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrive a 16�2 character LCD over I2C to display live schedule and portion status\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrate hardware debouncing for push-button user menus and manual override routines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n \n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArduino Uno R3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDS3231 RTC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSG90 Servo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16x2 LCD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI2C Backpack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTactile Button\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10k?
