Mitchell's Arduino Workshop Dust Collection 4-H Electric Project

In this Macy Acres episode, Mitchell describes his Electric 4-H project this year. He builds an automated vac system utilizing an Arduino, servos attached to blast gates, and some relays. If you want to see this project in person, check it out this year at the 2024 Indiana State Fair as Mitchell won champion at our local fair and was moved on to complete with the rest of the state. Drop in and take an up close look at this awesome project.
