The chicken bowl project is a adruino nano project. The idea is to provide fresh, filtered water to the chickens all year around with minimal effort.

This is achieved by pumping water into the bowl in a configurable interval such as every hour. We use a pump that consumes a voltage of 5V.

• Water pump 6V
• Dc - DC bucket!
• MOSFET
  • VIN+ => INPUT+
  • VIN- => INPUT-
  • OUT+ => OUTPUT+
  • OUT- => OUTPUT-
  • PWD => D7
  • GND => GND

When the temperatur drops it is necessary o keep the water at a configurable temperature and heat it when it goes below the threshold. We use a heat pad that needs 12 V and therefor is controlled via relais. Additionally we need to frquently (every 5 min) read the temperature via digital pin.

• Heat Pad 12 V
• MOSFET
  • VIN+ => INPUT+
  • VIN- => INPUT-
  • OUT+ => OUTPUT+
  • OUT- => OUTPUT-
  • PWD => D7
  • GND => GND
• Temperature Probe + Controller
