The centres shows a circle with a drive belt attached which rotates the unit and the 2 square items are a ball or roller bearing assembly that allows it to rotate. The photographs show the unit upside down, the first shows all the tubes (which hold the feed) and the second the same view but with the stainless plate over which uncovers the tubes one by one. I have some notes that will accompany the sale. The electronics are (I think) Raspberry PI and the basic programming is complete. To the best of my knowledge and recollection all the electronics needed are there. The concept is simple, feed is placed into the tubes and the unit would rotate until one measure of feed was dropped down a shoot, the unit would then wait until the next predetermined time when it would rotate to the next position and dispense more feed.Īll the hard work has been done, the tubes, plywood and stainless steel all cut to size. The feeder could be used for a variety of other animals including goats for example. The project was intended to feed free range pigs by dropping a pre-measured amount of feed directly into their run or trough. However, the student moved on and I didn’t have the knowledge to complete the project. I am selling on a project that I started working on a number of years ago when I had an enthusiastic student assisting me with the electronics. I am offering for sale an Automatic Pig Feeder - part completed project. Apologies for posting this here, it’s in Marketplace too but does not seem to be getting to the right audience there.
