Have just worked out the kinks with the new enclosure and improvements.
- The feeder is now less than 3ft tall
- Fewer parts and materials (and shorter wires) required to build
- PIR sensor moved to camera arm
- Dispense path is more difficult to jam
- Deposit pathway is shorter and easier to mount the sensor on
- Better way of placing internal baffles
It's still using a RaspberryPi Zero W v1.1 to run the show. After field testing these improvements I'll resume working on porting this to an ESP32.
Will include some pics of the enclosure parts and assembly in next log update.
