I am looking to add an automatic feeder... no not because I am lazy, but because I am trying to
1. be able to build consistency in my setup... isn't that why we have these controllers?
2. be able to leave the house for a week or more and not have to worry about tasking someone else to take care of my pets
Unfortunately I haven't found a good plug in feeder (please post if you've found one) to control with the RA, so for now I just want to program it to start feeding mode at a certain time (say 1900... 7pm). That way I can make my feeder feed at 1905. And then at 1915, back to normal operations.
Thoughts?
How do I code automatic feeding?
Re: How do I code automatic feeding?
All you have to do is trigger it so it executes the feeding mode code.
The example code is attached.
Code: Select all
if (ScheduleTime(9,55,0)==ScheduleTime(hour(now()),minute(now()),second(now()))){
ReefAngel.LCD.Clear(255,0,0,130,130);
ReefAngel.SelectedMenu=0;
delay(1000);
}
