I'm working on an automatic chicken coop door. Using a linear actuator and ESP8266. A mix of Arduino c and HTML/JS for the interface. Playing with flexbox, svelte, webpack, and fontello.
- mod 10y agoIs it just going to open/shut at predetermined times? Or is there some "smarter" behavior? Going to release it anywhere? There's other hackers out there with chickens (me!)
- shanecleveland 10y agoWould love to see a future write-up on this. I've seen some similar things. So far too involved to replace having to go out and close up the chickens myself each night. For those that don't know ... chickens are very low maintenance, and they do put themselves to bed each night before dark (very instinctual). But they do need to have something between them and the other creatures of the night, which usually means trudging out and closing their door after they have decided to go to bed. And then letting them out again in the morning.
