Day 34

 Today I have made the list of components needed for the second stage of my project. I have researched about the components like which suits for my project and how much power it needs to run.

Here is the link for my components list: Automatic Food Feeder

I have added the required components in the list and also analyzed the power consumption of the components. Now let's see the explanation for the components.

Micro Controller:

The controller used in the Bibox tern was a 32 bit controller. A 32-bit micro controller can theoretically handle numbers reaching 2^32. They have 32-bit arithmetic logic units, registers, and bus width. In general, this means that a 32-bit can handle quadruple the amount of data, making it technically more data efficient. 

Next version of 32 bit processor was 64 bit processor, we can simply say the difference as 32 bit is for normal work use and 64 bit is heavy work user like app developing and higher graphics works.

The power consumption of this micro controller is 1.4 volts to 3.3 volts.

Lithium-ion Battery:

I am going to use a lithium ion battery to power up the micro controller and run it's action. this lithium ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery, so we can recharge this device with a charger.

The output value of the lithium ion battery is 3.7 volts.

An external power adaptor and servo motor:

The servo motor I'm going to use in my project was MG996r type. This type of servo motor needs 3 to 5 volts to run. I'm going to use 3 servo motors, so it needs nearly 12 to 15 volts to run.

Printed Circuit Board:

This PCB board is for attaching the micro controller, the signal wire from the servo motor, battery. The Circuit will be printed on this PCB and the components can be connected to it, then the programmed micro controller attached to it sends the signal to the components then it starts working according to the commands.

The Robotic arms:

The robotic arms are the basic and main thing required for this automatic food feeder. These arms can be made in 3d printer. The arms used in my project will be a 3d printed arms.

Review on using bibox tern

 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...

Day 16 finalized program and constructions

 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.

Day 2 discussion about the components

  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...
