Hi All,
Newbie here. I'm trying to build an automatic chicken coop door using an automatic car window unit...as cheaply as possible. I've got the motor with arm, a 12v dc power supply, a timer (and a photo cell), and DPDT (8-pin) relay. I want the door to open in the morning (via timer or photocell) and close at night. Can this be done with what I've got? If yes, how do I wire it? If no, what is the cheapest solution?
I had it working with an automatic antenna but it worked differently and proved to be of insufficient strength. I've noodle over this second option and can't work it out in my head (even with the Google)
Hope somebody can help.
Cheers,
Robb
