ChickenDoor

SCREENLOGOSCREENLOGO

TARGET: Move the chicken house doors 2 times per day. Estimate battery lifetime: 8 month with AAA battery(x8).

VERSION HISTORY

  • 1st Version: Digispark STD with LED to have some information. Not very userfriendly. To add a screen we should use digispark pro.
  • 2nd Version: Digispark pro with screen (code not optimised).
  • 3st Version: Digispark pro with screen and light sensor. After test, Tune the light sensor is very difficult, black cloud may close the door.
  • 4th Version: Actually the better version, base on south french Ephemeris. Code optimised, add watchdog sleep mode, add a push button to enter in debug mode and to wake up the screen.

FOURTH VERSION DISGISPARK PRO VERSION & PUSH BUTTON: less 15€

SCREENLOGO

  • ATTiny167 Digispark Pro
  • RTC DS3231 (Real Time clock)
  • Switch button

3D PRINT

Motor support: FIRSTVERSION

1/2 wheel FIRSTVERSION

How it's work:

Push software to Digispark following instruction, connect all component following instructions. The system is ready !

Note: If the RTC have power lost, software update it time automaticaly. Oled screen & RTC use the same SDA and SCL connection to DIGISPARK. RTC DS3231 allow to have Temp information. I have put an relay to avoid battery consuming to maintain the servomotor position. FYI Servomotor have only 180° angle, i have create a 3D print wheel to open the door.

I'm available if any question.

Have fun !
