Abstract :
The main purpose of this paper is to design and develop an automatic rabbit droppings compost grinder using PIC microcontroller. The prototype developed by combined the grinder motor and water pump system which functions to blend and supply the parser liquid to the rabbit waste. The development of prototype consists of grinder motor, water pump, manure container, mixture of parser materials storage and microcontroller. The grinder rotates to grind the rabbit waste particles followed by pumping the mixture of yogurt and brown sugar as parser liquid to the manure container. The system will repeated until the rabbit waste changed to become rabbit manure. By functioned automatically, this prototype may help the rabbit farmers to reduce their time and human power to process the rabbit manure.
