Pet Feeder Auto Timer Kit with Arduino Uno + Servo
Pet Feeder Auto Timer Kit: Arduino Uno + Servo Automatic Food Dispenser
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Your pet never misses a meal again. This kit lets you build a programmable automatic food dispenser that releases kibble at exactly the times you set, using an Arduino Uno, a real-time clock module, and a servo motor. Perfect for busy families and young makers learning about time-controlled automation.
What You'll Build
A fully functional automatic pet feeder that opens a hopper lid on schedule. You’ll program the Arduino to read the DS3231 RTC, display the next feeding time on a 16x2 LCD, and trigger the SG90 servo to dispense food. The tactile buttons let you adjust meal times without a computer.
What You'll Learn
- Interface a DS3231 real-time clock module with Arduino
- Program a servo motor to rotate at precise times for reliable dispensing
- Display scheduled feeding times and status on an I2C LCD
- Use tactile buttons and debouncing logic to create a user-friendly control panel

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for young Indian makers: ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab students, CBSE Class 9–12 electronics hobbyists, and B.Tech ECE/EEE first-year students exploring embedded systems. Parents and educators will appreciate the clear, safe build for ages 10 and up with supervision.
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 provides real-time resolution specific to this feeder project. You can also connect with our support team via WhatsApp for human help.
Can I schedule more than one meal per day?
Yes, the code supports up to 3 distinct feeding times. You can customize the schedule by editing the array in the Arduino sketch.
Does the kit include the food hopper container?
No, the kit includes all electronics. You can repurpose a plastic bottle or cardboard box as the hopper—the servo mechanism will attach to its lid. The full build guide suggests common household materials.
What happens during a power outage?
The DS3231 RTC has a battery backup (battery not included) that retains time; once power is restored, the feeder resumes normal operation. A 9V battery with the included snap can keep the system running untethered.
DS3231 RTC triggers servo at set meal times to open food hopper.
