I'm in the middle of building the pet feeder from your Instructible, and I noticed in the video that the hatch closes after a 10-second delay when Toos leaves the feeder.
In my house, the cat that will be kept out of the dish is very tenacious and will likely be able to pounce on the dish and scarf up a few kernels in that time.
Can I reduce the delay in the Arduino code, or is the delay a function of the proximity detector?
Thanks.
I'll probably be coming to you with more questions as the project progresses.

Neat! Yes, actually in cat_feeder7.pde the time is set to 5000 (ms, so 5 seconds). It's in line 19: const int set_time1=5000; Change it to any integer value. Over here the other cat figured out after a while that she had to get in there right after Toos. So at some point I might give the other cat a tag as well and make that tag trigger something to deter her :-/

I am planning to build your RFID cat feeder instructable. How do you power the CD drive? I don't see where you mention anything about a power supply.
The Arduino uses its standard 9v dc adapter and the cd drive (i.e. just a dc motor) is connected to, and thereby powered by, the Arduino. More specifically I used the Adafruit motorshield mounted on top of the Arduino but it's the same power source. The motorshield is just for convenience. It would probably work just as well without.

Hi there, I was just looking at you're RFID pet feeder instructable! I wondered how you managed to post the arduino code as plain text? Whenever I attempt to copy my arduino code it always appears as rich text :/ Do you have any suggestions? Thanks :)
I don't know exactly what rich text would look like but what I did is in the arduino editor click copy as html and then I just paste it into the instructable.
