I'm using a 12 volt DC LED because I have 12 VDC to operate my door. You can link together up to 20 I used 4, 1 is fairly bright. Link to LED I also had to use something between Pi and 12V LED so I used Onyehn 0-24V Top Mosfet Button IRF520 MOS Driver Module For Arduino MCU ARM Raspberry pi 6...

Good Morning did you get your LED lights figured out I just got a set going if interested pretty cheap, simple, with Pi3

Kiss Chicken Coop Door (Keep it simple stupid) I have seen a lot of automatic chicken coop doors on the net, most take a lot of knowledge to make happen. I have tried a few different ones most are great, but just not simple. You need an engineer degree or a programing degree to make it happen...

Yes will be glad two share, the Pi3 is just a small PC with lots of bells and whistles. The man thing is it has inputs and outputs so with some coding you can run motors, lights, home automation, an much more. Fun to play with and learn and tons of info on the net to help. JT has a post in this...

I'm still working on the dimmable lights just order some dimmable LED's and some FQP30N06L Mosfet to try to wire them in circuit. I used a L298N motor controller (about $5) the Pi3 and 4 Jumper wires and code to control my door. I tried a bunch of other ideas, but all seem like to many things to...

I have seen a lot of automatic chicken coop doors on the net, most take a lot of knowledge to make happen. I have tried a few different ones most are great, but just not simple. You need an engineer degree or a programming degree to make it happen. That why I decided to keep it simple, my door...

Yes Cat 5 would be nice I'm just two far away to hand dig a ditch at this point. We just moved here two years ago got plenty too do. Just ordered and tried a WiFi camera this morning won't keep a good connection. Definitely need to run cat 5 and a water line closer so I don't have to carry water...

Mr. BakkDad have you thought about using a Raspberry Pi3 if your a little handy it would work well and be fairly cheap. Well under a hundred dollars and if you enjoy messing with things you can keep expanding the program and accessories to do much more. Texting or email notification, dimmable...

Thanks JT yes my program is with Python I am using Twilio to be able to text my phone seems to work great with the exception I keep losing WiFi on my Pi3. I have done some reading seems like a common problem. Rebooting seems to help so I am using a Crontab to reboot. Door works perfect just not...

Does not seem like a lot of people are doing the auto coop doors with the Pi. I thought there would be more interest. Seems like a great idea and not expensive. Here is a picture of mine, I call it my KISS coop door. I'm not a programmer so I wanted something dependable and VERY simple. It...

Anyone still messing with the Raspberry Pi for automating a coop door. I don't really see much going on with it been working on building one. Just wondering if there was any interest in the topic or if maybe it turned out to be a problem long term.

Good Morning, I am looking for some more info on how old a chicken will be when they stop laying. I thought they would lay pretty much till they got old 15-20 years and died. I understand that the egg production drops with age. I read one article that said a chicken is born with x amount of...

Good Morning, I just bought a used sportsman 1502 and looking for any and all pointers. My one question at this time is where should I be taking the temp. and hud. readings. If I put the stat on the top shelf will I get a higher reading because the water tray and heater are there. Or ideally...
