automatic food feeder

Today I have sent the video to sir in the morning. Then I have asked sir what to do next. Sir told me to send the blog to him for checking my blog, He replied that he will check my blog and tell what to do next.  Here is the link for video of explaining the working of automatic food feeder: video of working of Automatic food feeder

 Today I have recorded the video of explaining the working of my project Automatic food feeder. And I have found that while the servo motor is rotating the arms was not steady so for that I have made added a base below the arm and connected it with the servo motor with a long screw but that also not worked properly then I have removed the base and screwed the end of arm with the servo motor and fixed it with glue after that it the arm stood somewhat steady comparing to the first vibration. I have thought of asking some ideas to sir regarding this tomorrow

 Today I have not done anything much, I have took a paper and wrote what I am going to explain with the ppt. Today I have also got prepared for the making video and tried to record the video but I was not able to record it because I had some lag while explaining, then my sister told me to write what I'm going to speak in the video. I'm preparing some notes and hope I can record my video nicely without any lags.

Today I have texted sir that I had finished all the works given to me and sir told me to record a video of explaining the working of the project. I am preparing to explain and record the video. And I have also got prepared explaining project with powerpoint presentation. Today I have done only simple works and hope I will record and send a video of explaining.

 Today I have fixed the arms and servo motor and sticked them together. Then I have checked with the program again, there is now issues. After sometime I have found one issue that is the part in which I have attached the servo motor didn't stick correctly, that is a small problem, so I have rectified it and checked whether there is any other problems in it and found that everything was correct. So today I have completed the construction work fully.

 Completed painting Today I have completed the painting work and applied varnish over it for making the paint to be not removed while water or any substance spill and placed it for drying. Before that I have disassembled the arms for painting, so I have thought of fixing the arms and servo motors again, but the paint took more time to dry. So I think I can complete the work by tomorrow.

Painting the project Today I have started painting the project. I have gone to shop and bought colours and brushes for painting. I asked my sister for some ideas for the structure of the painting and she gave me some sample designs. I have chosen one design and started painting it. In the meanwhile I have gone to the carpenter and gave the base of the project which i have made with cardboard and requested him to make the base in wood. He said ok and asked me to come and get it in evening. After that I have come to my house and continued the painting work. the painting looked so nice, but it is very tough to paint the patterns continuously and correctly. Then I have went to the carpenter and asked the base but he didn’t complete it. Also he asked me to wait and get it. Then he had started working on it and he also asked the servo motor for fixing it correctly in the wooden base. Then I have asked how much it cost, but he replied “ I do not need money for this, let me know if you win t...

 Today I have completed the project and adjusted the height by making some corrections in the program. I have made it correctly also the spoon went into the bowl and came up correctly. I felt very happy after finishing my project. Then I have recorded a working video of automatic food feeder and sent it to Binu sir. Sir said good comments and told me to paint the arms. So I'm asking suggestions to my sister for choosing the colours. I think I can complete it by tomorrow.

 Completing the project Yesterday I have completed the programming part. Today I have fixed all the servo motor and arms together and connected the servo motors to the Bibox tern and made my project Automatic food feeder completely. I have started fixing it in the morning. While fixing the spoon in the arm, the arm turned downwards because of weight. Then I have changed the metal spoon to plastic spoon, and then it stood straight. Next I have fixed two arms together and for balancing the arms I have attached a box at the bottom and added some weight in the box for balancing it. I have made the automatic food feeder completely and the only thing to complete is to make the arm to go into the bowl correctly. So I’m checking it by changing the delay of the program.

 Review after using Bibox Tern kit Hi, I’m Thiyagarajan yadav from Tamilnadu. This is a review about the Bibox tern kit. First of all I’m very excited after getting the Bibox tern. It looks like a small car with ports and display. It has two mini-geared motor which is attached to the tern kit. We can remove the wheels by unscrewing when we want and again it can be attached to the tern easily. Anyone can use this tern kit also we no need to learn any programming language to program the Bibox tern; we have to install the app called Bisoft for programming this tern kit. In this app we have select the components needed, connect it in the tern and just drag and drop your logic like a flowchart. The Bibox tern kit has 4 ports for connecting input and output elements, 1 for connecting seven-segment display, M1 and M2 ports for connecting motors, a power on/off switch, motor on/off switch, a reset and erase button. We can do any projects for school or to improve the gadgets used in our d...

 Building the project Today I have fixed the arms and servo motor and made the project as a working one. I have changed the delay timing in the programming for finding the correct angle. And after many tries I have got the correct angle. Then I have programmed the program in the bisoft app and uploaded it in the bibox tern. I have checked whether the arms are working correctly or not. I have found one problem that is as time goes on, the angle of servo motor is slightly changing. So I have added an IF condition in the program and added a loop and gave output values and timings. The “IF” condition slightly changes the angle of the arm to its correct position every 2 minutes. So today there is no class, because today is the day given for me to complete the project. I have asked one doubt to sir that is the changing in the angle of arm time to time. Sir told to send the working video, I have sent it to sir. After that sir sent some tips to follow in these last days. And Sir asked me...

Programming part of project   In the today's class we have discussed about the programming of my project automatic food feeder. Today we have directly connected servo motor in the servo extender because yesterday while connecting the external power supply the servo motor wasn't working. After connecting the servo, we have programmed some simple programs for finding it's rotating directions and found that the output value of 0 to 45 degree makes the servo rotate clockwise and 45 to 90 degree makes the servo motor rotate anti clockwise and for 180 degree it stops rotating.  Today sir gave me a task, that is to program the bibox tern with the correct rotation angle and timing of servo motor. Sir told to check it also by attaching the arm to the servo motor. I have attached the horn with servo motor and fixed the arm in the servo motor. I'm checking the rotation angle by reducing the delay timing in the program. Sir gave me a full day for completing the program and attachin...

 Connections of components Today before the class starts, I have gone to my school lab. I;m very much excited to go to school after long leave and also the thought of doing this project in school also made me happy. The principal sir and correspondent sir wished me to get the first prize. Then I have got into the lab and started making correction in arm like adding holes for the servo motor. The lab incharge mam also helped me and gave some ideas. Today I have also tried programming for the automatic food feeder in bisoft app. While working many doubts came in my mind, I will rectify it by asking the doubt to sir. In the today’s class we have discussed about the connections and programming for my project Automatic Food Feeder. I have asked MG996r servo motor which is powerful than a normal MG90s servo motor. The bigger servo motors needs an external 5 volt power supply which can be got from a power adapter. Sir told how to give the power supply for the servo motor. Sir told to conn...

Suggestions for project   In the today’s class I have interacted with Rajesh sir, Sir came for class for giving some suggestions for blog and video. Sir told to add a description of the project in the blog and to add some points regarding what I have learnt in class. Sir gave good comments for the blog. After hearing the comments I felt very happy because I have learnt to write the blog during this mentoring class only, the first comment was given by sir and also it is a good comment so I felt very much excited. Today, before the class started, I have made the arms with the material received from bibox. I have marked the measurement in the cardboard and cut it according to the measurements marked. I have fixed every part using glue. The school lab incharge mam called me and asked me to come to school next day. It is a good thing because I can ask doubts to mam and mam can help me in my project. Today I have learnt about how to write a blog which can be understood by anyone. The...

 Received components Today I’m very happy because today I have received the components required for my project from bibox. After receiving the components, I have informed it to Binu sir. Sir told me to join in the meeting. After the diwali holidays today we had a meeting. In the meeting, we have discussed about building the project. Sir gave me task for this day. The task is to be thorough with the bibox tern and bisoft programming. I have opened the courier and seen every component inside it. I have also recorded the unboxing video. I am programming some tutorial projects the bisoft app and uploading it in the bibox tern for having a clear idea about the bibox tern. Today I have learnt programming in Bisoft app and to upload it in the bibox tern.

discussing how to explain In today’s class while explaining the project with presentation I had a lag in between. So sir told me to put more effort and to do the research of all the things used in the project. So I’m preparing how to explain clearly about project with the help of my sister. I have wrote what to speak in each slide. I’m researching every point in the presentation. I’m searching information about servo motor, bibox tern and how much electricity it consumes and the features of it. So I’m preparing my speech as a good one. Today I have learnt about the different types of servo motors and the difference between the features of other servo motors. Found out the value of electricity consumed by the bibox tern.

Explaining the project In today’s class I have explained my project to sir with presentation. Sir gave me some suggestions for the explaining part. Sir told to make the explaining of project clearly with the points given in the presentation. I have made all the correction work suggested by sir and preparing for the explanation part. I have included the link for the presentation of my project. Link of presentation of project: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v_LEoIEdhGm0d59V0jB9HabGNeFBI80D/view?usp=sharing

Finalizing documentation In today’s class I have shared my presentation work with sir and sir told me to make some corrections in it. Sir told me to compare the project Automatic food feeder with other robotic arm available in the market. I have made all the correction works. I am comparing both products and got a clear idea about the difference between the both like its price and features. Today’s task is to get prepared for explaining about the project with presentation. I am preparing for that also. Today I have learnt how to present a presentation.

Discussion about the documentation In today’s class, sir told me to start the documentation work for the project. Sir told me to be prepared for the final round. Sir gave some ideas for creating the presentation like how it should look and how the contents should be given. I am making the presentation work and collecting all the details required for the presentation like the technology used, features, working etc.,. I’m inserting the details about the project in the presentation and making the presentation well. Today I have learnt how to create a presentation.

  Discussion about the components Today we have discussed about the components required for the project. I have thought of using powerful servo motor for lifting the arm with food and also added in the components list. We have finalized the list of the components needed by checking the list with sir. Sir gave me some ideas for the components. Today’s task given for me is to research about the bibox tern. So I’m researching about the bibox tern and seeing the tutorial videos available at youtube and I have installed the bisoft app which is used for programming the bibox tern and also learnt the programming. The new things I have learnt today are the bibox tern and bisoft programming. The bisoft programming was very easy because we no need to learn any programming language for programming in it, we have to just drag and drop our logic like a flowchart in it. Yesterday's task of sketch of robotic hand: This is the skeletal structure of the robotic arm. The arm in X plane moves u...

AUTOMATIC FOOD FEEDER I'm Thiyagarajan Yadav From Tenkasi studying in 9th standard in Hilton matric higher secondary school. I'm interested in electronics. The name of my project is AUTOMATIC FOOD FEEDER. I have thought of doing this project because old aged people who are in bed rest need other’s help for taking their food, with the help of my project they no need to depend on others for taking the food. I have got this idea because in my house every others will go to work, so there will be no one for taking care of them. So for that reason I have thought of doing this. I was eagerly waiting for my first class. In the class I have interacted with Binu sir. We have discussed about the designing part of the project in the class. Sir also gave me some tasks to complete for the day; the tasks are, to create the sketch of the project with accurate measurements and to make a list of components required. So I have spent a lot of time in making the sketch, I have thought that ...
