BN #Nostr!
I spent the first day of Spring inside on the computer building out my chicken coop door opener with my #Arduino Mega. It's a project that I attempted a decade ago but got stymied midway through and tossed on the shelf to sit and collect dust while the idea sloshed around the back of my brain. In a fit of sudden awareness yesterday I managed to cobble together the setup I had wanted to build so long ago. AND IT WORKS!
I get the stepper motor today and once it is tested I will work to get everything installed. It will open the door on times for now with the RTC until I can get the light sensor coding to work right as another requirement for the code to run. I'm trying to get the #LoRa to talk to the Arduino so it can message me on opening and closing but it's not seeming to talk yet. I get new LoRa tomorrow that have GPS and are more powerful so I can try then.
