Hi Nathanial,

im very interested in the same solution to open a door at the chicken coop, do you have a list hardware and wiring you used?

Here is the step motor I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P9V5RXU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The link doesn't work any more, but the light sensor, capacitors, resistors, etc came from "Surfwheel Workshop Component Basic Element Pack Set Kit Resistors,Capacitors,LEDs,Press switch DIY Modules For Arduino Starter Beginner"

I used a board like this for the sensor mount https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Z7Y19F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It didn't work so well in winter time when there was no light so I disabled it. After plugging it back in, it's not working. So I will have to get it running again then I'll make a video

This works with the stepper motor to drive the moving door https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XNPHDS5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@nmyers322 thanks. I found a code where you can set the time it should close each day. Maybe that is something for you to use in the winter.
