A pet feeder with a LCD1204 (ELEGOO), 5 buttons for menus, 4 weight sensor (style TEM01052B), a DC motor or steps per steps motor, an Archimède's screw.
For Wiring, i found solutions. But for the software... i'm a noob ^^
For menus :
If no buttons pressed => show time
-Manual meal
-Seeting => -Set time
-Set weight of meal
-Set time for Meal 1
-Set time for Meal 2
When the meal is given, the engine runs fast at first, and reduces speed towards the target weight.
There is a French section of the forum, but, alas, no french section.
Your post is a bit like going to a pool, wearing cement boots and a trench coat, and wanting to learn how to use the diving board.
There are MANY areas of your (potential) project that can cause you issues. Reading the weight on the scale, for instance. Dispensing the right amount of food, as another example. Dispensing food at the right time will not be trivial.
Get one part at a time working. Leave the menu stuff until the very end.
Hi all =)
I created this code, and i need your opinions.
ps: do not consider number of pins.
This code compiling, but i need to reset meals gived each change of days. An idea ?
#include <DS3231.h> #include <Stepper.h> #include "HX711.h" #include <LiquidCrystal.h> #include <Wire.h> // needed for the RTC libraty #include <Time.h>

lcd.begin(16, 2);

scale.begin(LOADCELL_DOUT_PIN, LOADCELL_SCK_PIN);
scale.set_scale(calibration_factor); //This value is obtained by using the SparkFun_HX711_Calibration sketch

clocks.begin();
}
void loop() {
if (buttonState == LOW){
static long virtualPosition=0; // without STATIC it does not count correctly!!!

lcd.setCursor(0, 0);

lcd.print(":");
printDigits(dt.minute);
lcd.print(":");
printDigits(dt.second);
lcd.print(" ");
lcd.setCursor(1,0);
lcd.print(repasDonne);
}
if ((timeFeed) && (manualFeed)){
feed();
}
}
void printDigits(int digits){ // utility function for digital display: prints leading 0
if(digits < 10)
lcd.print('0');
lcd.print(digits);

void feed(){
and this code ?
