Week 8: Changing intervals

The Arduino is very beneficial for the pet feeder. The pet feeder is going to be presented in front of a panel of people. The pet feeder is meant to rotate 45 degrees every 4 hours, however, the time interval has to be accelerated in order for the judges to observe how the machine works. The fact that an Arduino is being used allows the group to simply change one line of code to change the time interval at which the top of the pet feeder rotates. The rotation will now occur every ten seconds to quickly display the use of the feeder.


However, since the actual interval is for 4 hours, the line that states 10000 milliseconds has to be changed to 14400000 milliseconds.
