Also can food be changed to corn or grain instead of slop w auto food from storage silo.

You can edit the config notecard to change the food etc, see below.  Not sure why not accepting food/water, when I tried it worked okay.  Maybe something in the config notecard?


# Name of item to accept as food. There can be multiple  FOOD= lines  if  you wish the feeder to accept multiple foods[/font]
FOOD=Corn
FOOD=Grain
#
# Short name of product to accept as food. from the FOODTOWER
FOODITEM=Corn
#
# Full name of storage location to take FOODITEM from
FOODTOWER=SF Storage Silo
#
#Full name of the water tower that supplies this coop
WATERTOWER=SF Water Tower
#
# Short name of the product to take from the WATERTOWER
WATERITEM=Water

thanks it seems to be working. eggs ack chickrn is increasing but food does not increease when adding and is at 8 t0 9 percent on autofeed

The levels for food & water have to drop below 5% before the auto feature will pull in more.

Adding water seems okay but it does seem manually adding food doesn't change the level, will check what's going on.

It seems that the only product it will accept as food manually is corn, no matter what is set in the config notecard! I will update this and release a new one soon, but for now if you just change it in the config notecard to:
FOODITEM=Corn
that should work.
