Created an automated chicken coop door which opens/closes the door based on sunlight.
It consists of:
1. Chicken coop
2. Old wiper motor to drive the door up/down (the door is suspended on fishing line)
3. Arduino Nano
4. Motor control shield
5. Light sensor
6. 2 mechanical switches for the door positions (stop the motor if switch is pressed)
7. Old car battery
8. 3 chinese 12V 15W solar panels

Do people really transfer that much money between them on a regular basis? Everyone was touting this as the selling point for some of the crypto currencies, but I've always thought this is a non-issue. It's anecdotal but I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I needed to transfer money to a person and not to a company.
