[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2884189, member: 4676"] There have been various takes on an auto trickler. This one is very similar to what you are mentioning [URL]http://www.omegapowdertrickler.com/[/URL] I built my own auto trickler too. Honestly, I didn't care much if it was cost effective, it gave me something to play with and work on! The biggest problem with using a simple break beam scheme is that the scale is very under-damped. Modern ones aren't bad, but it varies. So the scale will overshoot as it oscillates, which may break the beam at the wrong time. If it does this repeatably, then it might not be an issue. Or you could implement some delays to wait out the oscillation or trickle very very slow. Honestly, the worst problem I have are air currents. Mine needs an enclosure really bad. Otherwise I have to be perfectly still while it works if I want the best accuracy. Which sort of defeats the purpose for now, since I want it to be throwing while I seat and do other things. [/QUOTE]
