Abstract
AGUSTIN, MARCINIEL CHRISTIAN A,. FERNANDEZ, JEANETTE V., GO, CATHYRINE E. Automatic Fish Feeder Timer with Monitoring & Alert System Using Arduino and Android Platform. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, Cavite State University-Bacoor City Campus, City of Bacoor, Cavite. May 2019. Adviser: Mr. Jeffrey A. Diaz.
The study was conducted to develop an innovative device that automatically feeds the fish at a predetermined time. In a way, it is to control the fish feeding activity by using the automatic fish feeder instead of manually feeding the fish by hand. Fish owners who are away for a long time will have no trouble knowing the situation of the aquarium. The study proved that using the Internet of things (IoT) would make it much easier to monitor and control fish feeding.
The Iterative and Incremental Development (IID) was used for the development of the system composed of six phases namely: initial planning, requirements/planning, analysis & design/ implementation, testing, evaluation, and deployment.
The system was developed using the following development tools; Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) 5.4 and JavaScript (JS) as the main programming language, for the design of the interfaces, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Bootstrap for the respo9nsiveness, (MySQL) as the main databases tool, Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Server as the webserver software and (XAMPP) Control Panel as a cross-platform web server. Notepad+++ was used for editing the codes. Arduino was utilized as a microcontroller, Mini oxygen pump for oxygen, Ultra Sonic Sensor for the distance of the food, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for the communication of each wire, Jumper wires for the connections of the hardware, Relay for Switch, Voltage Regulator for regulating the voltage (up to 12v), and the Servo Motor for the feeding of foods. It used two sets of computers with the following specification: Intel(R) Central Processing Unit (CPU) N3710 @ 1.60GHZ speed, 4 Gigabyte (GB) Memory, operation system used is Microsoft Windows 10 Home single Language and Intel Duo Central Processing Unit (CPU) @ 2.00 GHz speed, 3 Gigabyte (GB) DDR3 l Memory, operating system used is Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate. Microsoft Word 2007 was used for the documentation. the storage is used at least 500 Megabytes (MB) for the Hard Disk Drive (HDD).
The system was evaluated based on the criteria of ISO 9126, containing fuctionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability, and WCAG 2.0, containing perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust that the system should process. The evaluation was classified into three groups composed of 10 DCS instructors from the CvSU-Bacoor City Campus. 10 aquarium dealers, and 30 aquarium owners. The system got a grand total of 4.24 which is interpreted as "Excellent". The result proved that the system was effective and the evaluators were satisfied with its functions. The system and hardware were recommended the following improvements: the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the system should be improved, the hardware should be added water filtering and the prototype design should be eye-catching.
