VMFB-MC for unshelled peanuts deployed

A project log for Vending Machine for Birds

Simple, inexpensive bird feeder that dispenses peanuts in exchange for dropping stuff in a hole. A vending machine for clever birds.

It passed some basic tests and is on my back balcony now.

I think I may have put too much strain on the camera cable as blue and green are faded. I will fix that later. 

UPDATE - I was using an IR camera... I replaced it with a normal one.

Now hoping to get some jackdaws and magpies interested. I got my first visitors already.
