Arduino Automatic Chicken Coop Door

This is Arduino automatic chicken coop door project.

It works by opening and closing the chicken coop at a scheduled time to keep the chickens safe at night.

Parts I used:

1x Arduino Nano

1x 12v 5A power supply (110mm x 80mm x 35mm).5A is probably to much so 2A power supply should work as well (My actuator uses max 1.5A).

1x Real-Time Clock Module (DS3231)

2x Relay module.I used those https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/32909882481.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.13b87282eUdcTK&algo_pvid=dc7d0e17-5a6d-43dc-afdd-a59ea1219c30&algo_expid=dc7d0e17-5a6d-43dc-afdd-a59ea1219c30-2&btsid=0b0a187b15966948127254604e4a32&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

1x 12V Actuator (I used this one https://www.elektrobim.pl/sklep/silownik-elektryczny-super-power-jack-mini-12v/?attribute_pa_maksymalny-wysuw=harl1206-15-cm&dTribesID=f05ca3ff0ce47eacdea3b64b72ba584d%7Cadtribes%7C254354&utm_source=Google%20Shopping&utm_campaign=Google%20Merchant%20B&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=254354&gclid=CjwKCAjwsan5BRAOEiwALzomX8EV-lF_khbAD8QrT8ya8AShBeDV4eWin5nvwz8bzQMSRgCUAHsCrhoCUB4QAvD_BwE ) but I am pretty sure that actuators from aliexpress will work as well.

1x 12v to 5v Buck Converter MP1584
