AutoIt is definitley something anyone having to manage computers should look into, it’s a really cool language. I found it when I was looking for a secure and reliable way of running a program as administrator but I have used it for so much more.

The best part about it is the compiler that comes with it. You can take any script you’ve written and compile it into an executable very easily.

Be sure to check out the forums, you can get the beta version there and the “scripts and scraps” section has tons of great code in it.

I have the serial port relay controller from electronickits.com -which reliably controls some hydroponic elements… the 8 relays on the serial kit can individually support 10amps up to 250v – has 4 opto-isolated inputs- and there is nothing proprietary about the multiple provided pc interfacia software (DOS based as well) -the switching time is posted as .2 sec, and I seem to recall some difficulty scheduling events for midnight -nothing hard to work around… i’ve been very happy with it

Page caching is a virtue. To stay on topiczorz, this is a dope ass spin on an old idea. relay boards are one of the most usefull devices ever

…gotta look into this autoit thing

Autoit kicks much butt. I use it to make custom installers for the academic-licensed software here at school; you can have AutoIt enter serial numbers and other pertinent info. I homebrewed some cloning scripts/.exe’s (where Ghost isn’t an option), but now we’re moving to UIU for our WinPCs. Still, many neat possibilities for AutoIt users.

What kind of dc motor is that to have enough torque to move a door and where do I get one?

Posted at 11:50 am on Jan 18th, 2006 by Andrew

Don’t know what was used here, but windshield wiper / power window motors are geared with more than enough torque to handle that job, and they run on 12vdc…

Awesome! I’ve been a fan of AutoIt for a long time, great to see it put to the use of real-world modding.

How does the door opener/closer mechanism work? The fishing line doesn’t show up in the pictures, so you cant see the mechanical part. All that shows up is the motor and the water bottles.
