"I loved how you blended tech with a cozy chicken coop without losing that rustic charm! Building my own coop last year, I totally get the hassle of checking doors at night – raccoons are relentless! The automatic door system you designed is genius; mine uses a servo motor and motion sensor combo. Speaking of security, I added a motion-activated camera too –LOL when the hens scared a stray cat last week! Total game-changer for peace of mind. Check this out – it might be just what you need!"

Got it running Dave, still fiddling a bit, but i’ve added the following:

RTC and RGB LED strip with an Artificial sundown, after 16.00 hours stopping at 22.00 hours.
The PSU of the RGB gets powered by the equasions: time / light and bottompinvalue. (Also keeping your bottom pin val in place so they enter the palace first)

Traffic light, to ensure the chicken know they are clear to move in and out, or if the door is moving. ;) They are chicken, you need to keep them in line…

Thanks for the notes…

IR remote…. great idea!

The state of the door is set above the setup. =)

Great idea to do the debounce within the hardware.

Thanks for sharing!

Howdy,

The wire gauge is actually 18. And here’s a link to the rca female chassis mounts: https://amzn.to/32AdLf3
