Hello All
I am needing some help on a project for my daughter's school. We are building a new chicken coop and wanted to install an automatic door on it. I have some material available that I thought would work in this project.
12v battery
12v timer - I can set to go off upto 4 times a day and can limit the run time from 1 to 60 sec. (deer feeder timer). It has 2 wires going to a battery and 2 going to the motor.
I was thinking I would use a window regulator and frame out of an automobile window.
Im not sure how to wire it to reverse the motor to go up and then down. I want to keep it as simple as possible and reliable is a must.
Thanks for your time.
Steve
