So the intent is an 85 ms burst of food, every couple of minutes -- that makes more sense.
The initial "close" threw me. Is the door initially open? Or are we just jamming it shut and stressing the servo?
- rrauenza 10y agoI assumed it was some kind of fail safe... Always start the loop in the closed position. In case the Arduino got reset mid cycle...
- Tempest1981 10y agoI wonder how often power shuts off during the delay(85 ms) time window. Statistically maybe a 1 out of 1000 chance. Probably more likely to shut off while opening/closing the door -- in those 2 loops (2 out of 1000?). Assuming an average main loop of ~85 seconds. Kitty jackpot!
