Planning and Manufacturing an Automatic Fish Feeding Tool Based on Arduino Uno Powered by Solar Cells

Abstract

Fish feed is one of the biggest expenses in fish farming. If fish food is not properly cared for, currently the fish feeding system generally still relies heavily on human resources, and the feeding is done manually by spreading the fish food by hand towards the fish pond. Irregular feeding of fish is a problem that often occurs so that fish growth is not optimal. Moreover, fish feeding generally still depends on manual human resources, therefore an automatic fish feeding tool has been designed. This tool uses an Arduino UNO as the main controller, then a solar panel as a power generator obtained from sunlight which is equipped with a charger controller and battery as a voltage storage and distributor, and a Time Clock (RTC) Rail and LCD as a scheduler. This tool works based on scheduling system that has been set up via the Arduino IDE software to the Arduino UNO. This tool will work according to a set schedule, namely 7 am, 12 noon and 4 pm, and the capacity that comes out in 1 minute 30 seconds is 1 kg
