G+_Brent Burnette Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi everyone! I have a project that I hope could be very simple but since I am not familiar with coding, am hoping to get input on...I would like to automate a chicken coop door so that it would raise and lower at set times during the day (open in the morning, close in the evening). I feel this could be done with an arduino and a motor, but am unsure how to make one motor rotate both directions needed. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Scott W Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I used an Arduino Mega and two stepper motors to make a camera pan/tilt base controlled with a joystick. Search for Arduino Stepper Motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Blue Cuenca Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 a timer switch would probably work too... and a couple of DPST relays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
