Automatic Pet Feed Dispenser Kit with Arduino Uno + Motor
Automatic Pet Feed Dispenser: Arduino Stepper Motor Zip-Line Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
With this kit, you'll build a motorized trolley that rides a tensioned wire, stopping precisely at encoded positions to drop pet food at scheduled points. It's a practical introduction to motion control, ideal for automating zip-line feeding systems or small-scale cargo delivery.
What You'll Build
You'll construct a battery-free wired system where an Arduino Uno reads encoder pulses to position a stepper motor-driven trolley on a wire. The 0.96-inch OLED displays status, and tactile buttons let you program feed stops. Once assembled, your trolley can move along the line, pause at marked positions, and dispense food—perfect for a smart pet feeder or automated classroom project.
What You'll Learn
- Stepper motor control with A4988 driver and acceleration profiles
- Reading rotary encoder feedback for closed-loop position tracking
- Integrating an OLED display and tactile input in embedded C/C++
- Real-time system design for automated motion sequences

Who This Kit Is For
This kit suits Class 11–12 CBSE students building a microcontroller project for their practicals, B.Tech ECE/EEE first-year students exploring motion control, and ATL Tinkering Lab facilitators running robotics workshops. It's also a strong pick for Smart India Hackathon teams needing a reliable actuator subsystem for an automation prototype.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion, accessible via QR code, diagnoses wiring and code issues in real time. You can also message us on WhatsApp for human help.
Can I use this kit for a zip-line camera slider?
Yes—the stepper trolley with encoder positioning works for any wire-suspended payload. You'll just need to adapt the payload mounting.
Does this kit include the wire and food container?
The kit provides all electronics, including the stepper, driver, encoder, and breadboard. You'll supply the wire, frame, and food hopper based on your project's size.
Is coding experience required?
Basic familiarity with Arduino IDE helps, but the AI companion provides step-by-step code walkthroughs. If you can upload a sketch, you can build this.
Pet Care — Stepper driven trolley rides a wire and stops at encoded positions. Useful for zip line automation projects.
