[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2884218, member: 29706"] Yeah I know it would need to be in a very still room or just make a plexiglass cover that shields the majority of it while leaving an easy opening to grab the powder tray off the scale. I figured on programming in a delay once it breaks a certain beam but just like you it's the fun of doing it and making things work. I figured a raspberry Pi board or an arduino would work ok to do this with a simple one button start and tone when finished. It will NEVER be a complete substitute for the human eye but if I can make it work it would be a great way to speed up the process a little bit. And I love to do things myself anyway, part of the reason why I often build rather than buy as well as end up helping so many others get things done. Right now I have enough computer equipment in my place to run a small office along with the pfSense router and FreeNAS server. Instead of carving a pumpkin for Halloween I got a plastic one and put an arduino in it with some LED's and a couple car horns with a big red arcade button for a nose.
