Great motor. A steeper motor is probably over kill but will help to know if something is in the door way still.
The idea is to create a door with a decent environmental seal. I figure for that to be the case a cat won't be able to deal with the weight etc.
To archive this I was thinking of using the IR distance sensors on either side of the door to detect the presence of the cat and lower the chance of a false positive. The door would be mounted on lateral bearings on a rod. The drive belt will be attached to the door to slide it.
The whole thing would be attached to a Raspberry Pi to let me know when the cat is inside or out and to restrict access where needed. It's also allows complete remote control as well.
It's all just something I'm putting together on paper at the moment but I do hope to put it in one day. - Topic: Animal sliding doorYou Reply: Hey Jose,
Thanks for the quick reply. The SKU's are FIT0236 for the belt and FIT0247 for the pulleys. Either a heated down motor module or a 360° servo would be fine as the load won't be huge.
Thanks,
