Crocodile Gadget

Exotic pets. What could be worse? Not aesthetic. They smell foul (here, however, full compliance with banal pets), they eat guts, you can't take them into your hands without fear ... This conclusion of my wife forever blocked the way to my green pets' house. But the situation was resolved in an unexpected way. In the villa where we live, lizards wound up. A small translucent gecko got into the habit of sitting in the evenings in a French window (such a “door to the garden”). Observation has shown that the animal does not just meditate on glass, but catches flies, taking advantage of the fact that the prey is attracted to the glass by the flickering of the television panel from the inside.

And now, after six months of feeding our alien friend (who received the nickname “crocodile” for the exterior and predatory temper), we have to leave him alone for a while. We, of course, tortured conscience. We will have fun in Europe, and a crocodile, what is good, will die of hunger.

This is where the “feeding gadget” was born. Light plate, LED, power. In the alpha version powered by a primitive battery. But the "glamorous" version can be powered from usb (so, for fun).

The original post (with pictures of the device "in action") is in my blog .
