Chicken Door (arduino)
Im going to show you how to build a very simple arduino solar powered chicken door.
I focus in simplicity and low power consumption.
You only need:
-arduino nano- for cheap and low energy consumption
- Stepper motor
-LDR resistance
- solar power bank
And a few other things that you can find in your house
A Setup From the Inside
Door and Solar Powerbank
3mm wood blank with aluminium finish
10000 mah solar powebank for 120 days without sun, lifetime with sun.
Conections and Low Amperage Consumption
You can find the sketch and libraries in the video.
As you see, oonly consumes 3.5mA with the sleep mode
