No I tested it on my workbench with a powersupply.
J3 and J4 are the battery terminals.
Connecting the lower part of S4 to ground will activate the “amount” button.
It only needs a couple of milliseconds to register it as a click.
With ease you can solder pretty hefty wires to them and still be able to move them around.
Something like AWG20 or 1.0mm2 should fit easely.
Taking it apart is easy, you snap off the screen and remove 1 screw from the battery compartment and it’s open and you can do whatever you want.
That said, having a setting option in the controller to give this type of feeder anywhere between 1 and 8 pulses would be better and more reliable than the Eheim and juwel feeders which are using sliders for controlling the amount of food.
Also nice thing about this feeder is that you can 3D print the wormwheel for even smaller amounts of food :D
Nice for nano tanks and stuff like that.
