Hi Guys,
Im fairly new to electronics and think i might of bitten off more than i can chew but any advise will be good.
im looking at building a device that needs 14 digital outputs to control solenoids. these solenoids will open and close and act like a gate to start and stop bird seed. 1 of the digital outputs will control a motor for a determined amount of time.
so thats 15 digital outputs
then it also needs 5 analogue inputs. these inputs will be a weighting scale that will weight the seed to a determined weight.
to make this more understandable digital output 1 will open until analogue input 1 has reached a determined weight set by the user once at this weight analogue input one send a signal saying close digital ouput 1. once at weight close digital output 3 and open digital output 2. then start digital output 4 for a determind amount of time. when time has elapsed open digital output 5 before opening digtal output 3. this will fall onto analouge input 2 once at the weight open close digital output 6.
that is basically what im looking at doing was thinking of using a pic but if their are any other ways of doing it as much info would be greatful.
