To implement the control systems we need an idea of how much our feeders are delivering in Grams/second.

To Do this:

>Run your feeder for 60 Seconds

>Collecting the feed it dispenses.

>Weigh the food it has dispensed in grams

>Divide by 60 to get grams/second.

Here is a Video Of me doing this with the 20 and 25mm Feeders we made in an earlier video [Link]:

Nothing Really Hard Here. Watch the main Fly Wars Blog for any Improvments and links to building the controller yourself.
