diy automatic chicken coop door opener build

[@seekerout]

It's so refreshng to see a DIY video using simple tools. I get so sick of watching 'how-to' videos that seem to require thousands of dollars worth of power tools.

[@Umairworkshop]

Thank you for appreciate

​@@Umairworkshopwe have to appreciate you more, it's very helpful idea and I would always like to see more of it. Please keep coming up with new videos it surely helps.

That's pretty slick. The only reason you got dislikes is because the ones watching weren't that slick. They were just looking for a how-to and someone to do all the hard work for them. God forbid they think for themselves. Once again good job buddy

thank you so much for appreciating

Is it possible to connect any sensor when there is a chicken under the door.

[@Umairworkshop]

Need to work with Arduino and obstacle avoidance circuit

You save me!!!!! Thank you and greetings from Greece!!

[@Umairworkshop]

You are welcome

No, he save your chickens.

@@Umairworkshop Can we increase the speed of rotation ? I want the door to completely slide up 6 inches in half second.

[@Umairworkshop]

@@rsingh2083 yes by increasing voltage it can close faster the maximum is 24v for this motor

[@liamstone3437]

The door mechanism will shut like a guillotine and your favorite and sweetest hen will get crushed. All doors should close while suspended by light chain or rope so no positive downward pressure is exerted.

[@Umairworkshop]

Thank you for good suggestion

[@domidomi7468]

Great ! Have you code program for arduino ?

[@Umairworkshop]

No it is just a digital timer

[@marcovlus]

You're really smart! I'll will start making my own, but could you provide the measurements of the items you used as well as the name of this metal door guides?

[@Umairworkshop]

that is called u type almunium channel and the dimensions will be set according to your cage door

[@marcovlus]

@@Umairworkshop I asked you about the dimensions of the door you built because you shown them during the video and I want a similar chicken coop door. By the way, do you have a video of how to install a timer to this project? I'm new at electronics and I found this Digital Programming Timer Relay, but I don't know how to install it and I don't know if it needs a transformer or if it's powered by the motor electricity. The motor I got is a 127v

[@abuadnan7591]

Hi. Good job. Can tell me what are the 2 conponents? Thank you

[@Umairworkshop]

the main motor name is asmo motor kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIOQl4ehZrqqrZY

[@abuadnan7591]

@@Umairworkshop thank you brother. I need to build such a door with few components. since the timer is not equipped with a clock, can I connect 2 timers and matching with 2 limit switches, one on opening and the other on closing? it is always 12v.

[@vdsmade]

What is the motor from?🤔

[@Umairworkshop]

Motor is from printer cartridge

[@zagranichnaja_zhizn]

This control board is only suitable for southern countries: in summer and winter you have 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. But here in the north, in summer the night is 3-4 hours, and in winter the day is 3-4 hours. and on the board the maximum time interval that can be set is 999 minutes, that is, 16 hours and 39 minutes. that is, this timer is not suitable for mid- and nord-latitudes. It is much more reliable to use a light sensor board, which will react to light and close the door at dusk and open at dawn.

[@Umairworkshop]

Thank you for good information

[@santhoshsandy9228]

what type motor this Bro

[@Umairworkshop]

It is printer cartridge asmo motor

[@RRaucina]

Do you have a link to buy the timer?

[@Umairworkshop]

you need to search timer model name on Google if someone have it in your country

[@RRaucina]

@@Umairworkshop Yes, thanks, I find this on Ebay for about 3$ to 6$. Very inexpensive, but it seems like it would be frustrating problem to program. Also must wonder about Chinese quality.

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

I like it but you should at least make the arm out of 1/4" Aluminum. Also I am not a fan of openers that use time as a limit instead of actual limit switches. Other than that I like this.

[@minichickierobots2822]

I am sure that actuator has an internal limit switch.

[@jasonsnook5158]

Comments on videos like yours aggravate the crap out of me! If ya Like what ya see then give em a 👍 or compliment.. But keep the suggestions for your own you tube channel!

[@cmonay5403]

This doesn't need a limit switch though? B/c it's rotating. I guess if you're worried about it desyncing, you could use a stepper motor.

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

@@minichickierobots2822 It is not an actuator, it is a regular motor with a gearbox meant for toys. And not it does not have internal limits. That is why they are using a time limiting motor controller.

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

@@cmonay5403 Limit switches are definitely needed. It will not take long for it to get out of time. Limit switches would keep that from happening. Stepper motor? Why? all you are doing is adding more cost and having to use a micro controller. And you still need a limit switch. You have to. Even Steppers lose their place from time to time. So a limit switch is used to reset its place as a zero point.

[@minichickierobots2822]

I feel a determined predator will destroy that door.

[@Umairworkshop]

yes it might

[@janetcornwall9447]

Add a simple lip to the front and a Racoon can’t get his fingers under. Looks like a fine door that would keep all sorts of mischief out. Thanks for sharing.
