Programming Arduino with 2.3 Motor Shield and millis function

i building automatic dog feeder final project engineering degree.  have 12v dc motor turns auger distributes food bowl.  not standard @ on writing code.  give me code please?  need come on @ time each day possibly using millis function?.  once work, can adjust run time , speed right amount of food pushed out bowl.  lost here , it's crunch time.

thanks again,
jason

i'm sure come "use time library", this:

code: [select]


unsigned long currentmicros;
unsigned long previousmicros;
unsigned long elapsedtime;

byte hundredths;
byte tenths;
byte secondsones;
byte oldsecondsones;
byte secondstens;
byte minutesones;
byte minutestens;
byte hoursones;
byte hourstens;


void setup(){

serial.begin(115200); // make serial monitor match
serial.println (setup done");
}

void loop(){

currentmicros = micros();

// how long's been?
elapsedtime = currentmicros - previousmicros;
if ( elapsedtime >=10000ul){  // 0.01 second passed? update timers
previousmicros  = previousmicros + 10000ul;
hundredths = hundredths+1;
if (hundredths == 10){
    hundredths = 0;
    tenths = tenths +1;
    if (tenths == 10){
        tenths = 0;
        secondsones = secondsones + 1;
        if (secondsones == 10){
            secondsones = 0;
            secondstens = secondstens +1;
            if (secondstens == 6){
                secondstens = 0;
                minutesones =  minutesones + 1;
                if (minutesones == 10){
                    minutesones = 0;
                    minutestens = minutestens +1;
                    if (minutestens == 6){
                        minutestens = 0;
                        hoursones = hoursons + 1;
                          if (hoursones == 10){
                              hoursones = 0;
                              hourstens = hourstens +1;
                                if ( (hourstens == 2) && (hoursones == 4){
                                      hoursones = 0;
                                      hourstens = 0;
                                      } // 24 hr rollover check
                                   } //hourstens rollover check
                              } // hoursones rollover check
                        } // minutestens rollover check
                     } // minutesones rollover check
                 } // secondstens rollover check
              } // secondsones rollover check
          } // tenths rollover check
       } // hundredths rollover check
} // hundredths passing check



if (oldsecondsones != secondsones){  // show elapsed time
oldsecondsones = secondsones;

serial.print(hourstens);
serial.print(hoursones);
serial.print(":");
serial.print(minutestens);
serial.print(minutesones);
serial.print(":");

serial.print(secondstens);
serial.println(secondsones);


} // end 1 second check

// time perform action?
if ((hourstens == xx) && (hoursones == xx) && (minutestens == xx) && (minutesones == xx) ){
// time feed dog! set off alarm! open drapes! whatever!
}

} // end loop
