I have decided to design an automated fish feeder in which a user can preset certain times through a pushbutton and LCD interface which would then rotate a compartment and feed his/her fish.
Todo this my original intention was to use a development board (Arduino UNO) along with some premade drivers for the peripherals I mentioned above.
However since the idea is pretty simple I would like to fabricate my own board todo all of this. I want to take out all the extra stuff a development board would have since my application is simple and I think I would learn more in the end by doing it this way. I want to make it so its as if its a real product without a USB connector sticking out etc.
Does anyone have a good resource on putting together a board with a microcontroller and other peripherals after the code has been finalized and loaded onto the microprocessor itself?
Thanks!
