I'm trying to build an automatic powder dispenser kind of like this one:
I was also told I could use the technology from a bullet reloader, but what components do they use in something like this? http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/...nday-Gifts-for-Her/prod999901364248/cat121215
It's for small amounts of powder meant to be put in capsules for digesting.
The idea is to build it for no more than $100, I don't want to pay $2000 for the one above.
The other aspects of what I need from this dispenser: -need to be able to preload the amount in milligrams of how much weight in powder it would dispense -can put in multiple powders (separated)
It doesn't matter to me if it is a gravimetric dispenser or volumetric as long as it works and can be done relatively cheaply.
Anyone out there that can point me in the right direction? What components would I need?
Could I hack any other existing devices and reappropriate it for this?
Or better yet, if you think you are able to do a diy project like this and show me how I can replicate what you did, I'd even reward the first person with a practical plan that works.
There was a thread for something similar back in 2008 but noone ever seemed to actually find a way:
