      Hi :) Yes you would have to flash it yourself. The controller in the parts kit is still packaged the way we get them from the suppliers. The intend with the Parts Kit is just to make the order process easier for those who want to rebuild it. You still need some skills with the arduino and should be able to flash code to it. More on that will come in the third video which will be ready soon. Thank you for the point, I should communicate that better in the article description!

    Im doing a project for my class final exam, and i chose a cat food dispenser. This one is by far the cleanest and simplest i will try to do something like this except i need to check if it violates any guidelines for me making something like this. Keep up the good work the new video is awaited.

    If you use more advanced stepper drivers with spi. You can have this funcionality built in right into the driver. Same principle as automatic homing where the driver senses current spikes. You are able to set some value and if it detects the spike it will send signal to desired pin or SPI. Or you can just read the data yourself.

  • @andrewtitcombe8378

    I used the cheap sensors to detect if my robot lawnmower has got stuck or collided . Needed to average the A/D input from the motor driver to remove motor current spikes.

    Excellent job with this design! I tried to solve this problem for my brother's dog food but ran out of iteration time with college classes. My auger kept getting clogged with larger food pellets but maybe I just needed a smaller diameter auger and reverse driving like you showed. I did connect it with Apple Homekit with an ESP32 and some janky hacking though. Like mentioned in some previous comments, Home Assistant would make this supreme.

      Hi Luca:), yes. a lot of people suggested that and I think its a good idea! we are actually working on that, it ist just a small change for the pcb and a change in the mapping of the potis since the esp has 12bit GPIOs. Would be nice to also have the remote control option

      Hi Esteban, it depends a bit on your location so I can only speak for me in Germany on the cost. There it is roughly at 60-80 euros for the non printable parts but often parts like the switches or buttons only come in sets which is a bit annoying.. that’s why I work on a parts kit for those non printable parts to make it easier to rebuild:) I hope this helps!
