My wife and I decided to take a trip out of town late night Friday. After booking the hotel for the next day and planning to leave at 3 am I almost forgot about the fry In my fresh water tank. With all the stores closed and knowing they needed to be fed multiple times a day i devised this in about 3 hours.

I coded, and built everything. I had some plexiglass laying around and decided that would be my best bet for making something to feed them. I didn’t have enough time to properly test a devise that automatically fed the fry

so I went the manual route.

I remote into my home PC where my Adruino was running on my local network, I would have given it internet access but again, didn’t have time to properly secure the devise, and wasn’t going to risk someone in China doing a port scan and finding it. It is running a web server that I used to click a checkbox that operates the servo.

If anyone has any interest I can post the source code. Or a video of it working.
