Arduino Automatic Horse Feeder

Hay feeder built with two Arduino UNO boards running 6 servos each which act as latches for the 24 shelves. Powered by two 6 volt batteries which are kept charged by a battery tender. It feeds twice a day, 6 days a week and gets refilled on the 7th day.

Can you send a parts list or pic that shows,the system

[@darcyosborne6671]

Man! I need one of these? Is there a detailed build tutorial in your future?

[@dollartree1975]

Could you please send me the diagram how you did ? How would you activate the servo motors? I mean how the system knows which motor to turn on on cetain times ?

[@dollartree1975]

Which ardino boaerd modual did you use ?

[@caennanu]

Good day sir! Can i ask, what release mechanism is used in this video? I'm having a simlar setup, but instead i drop net's with hay in them and am having some issues getting a proper release mechanism to release the hatch.

[@FlightRisk2010]

I used servo motors and I made extensions for the arms so they support the shelves better than the small plastic arms that come with them. They just turn 90 degrees when I want them to drop a shelf.

This looks so great, do you mind sharing the code? 😊

[@FlightRisk2010]

DM me your email. I’ll send it to you. It’s nothing special.

@@FlightRisk2010 Hi, thanks! But i can't find a way to DM you? 🤔
