Feeder-PCB

For clean and easy cabling the feeder order some feeder-pcbs from OSHpark. Due to their small size, they are very cheap. See download-section for schematic and board (eagle) if you want to modify the pcb. The pcb is designed to fit into the slot at the bottom of the feeder. It has connectors for the servo, the endstop and a jumper to cut off the power to the N20 motor if feeder is unused. The connection to the controller board is made via 4 wires (5V, GND, PWM signal for servo, feedback-line). Just solder the pinheads and a diode to the pcb.

Location of feeder-pcb below feeder. Servo and microswitch are wired internally. N20-motor and cable to controller wired externally.
