Alternative autofeeder wiring

[Rob F]

Hi Dom, increasing that pause time might help but you should wire it up as above, this is much better as the transistor triggers the manual feed switch, after this change cable length won't be an issue. Some feeders do work better using the method you currently are, maybe that's because of age of feeder but this other method will work as long as the feeder spins. It'll be easier to add the transistor in the feeder otherwise you would have to cut the trace on the controller board and put the transistor inline. You should have enough room in the battery compartment for the parts. Good luck!
