Need input on a new feeder timer idea.

[Bonesplitter]

I guess I'm an oddball. I set mine for 7:30 and 4:30 and don't ever touch it.

Bingo! Been doing this for years.

The Kenco aka Smart Timer works similar to what I am talking about. But they don't sale a timer they sale a feeder motor and timer unit. The unit is not a great feeder unit. I am talking about a greatly improved timer only - to replace the timer in the feeder you guys have in the field today.

Thanks for the feed back. I will keep working on this and if I can get it going I ask for some help with test units to get the bugs out.

Will the one your working on replace any timer? I have a moultry that has digital display that is craping out its a pain to set.

That's the idea. It will become the timer.

Count me in as a test subject or will that make me a "pro staffer"?

I run a bunch of feeders.

Remember the plug and make the time it will throw in relation to sunrise/sunset adjustable.

Also feed time

Make it compatible with 6 and 12 volts set ups without needing different timers.

All this and a little more is on my radar.

Any update on this?

The patents and technology already exist. I have 2 and one of the greatest feeding concepts of all time. The old fellow that invented it was in bad health years ago not sure if he is still with us. Best timer ever no question. GEO timer out of Austin Tx

Yes, SSI out of Austin made that timer. Put in the date and latitude/longitude and it calculated sunrise/sunset for every day of the year and feed accordingly. I have 10 of them that are about 10 years old still working flawlessly.
