Ian created this solar-powered door opener for his backyard chicken coop to automatically let his chickens out in the morning and close them in safely at night. It uses a small solar array from Voltaic Systems, battery, BeagleBone computer, timer, and servo motor. His backyard chicken coop is The Garden Ark design, built with plans from http://www.thegardencoop.com
