Hello
Look at this piece of equipment:
http://www.chuckhawks.com/rcbs_chargemaster1500.htm
It is an expensive piece of reloading equipment and I dont have the money to buy one. Here in Denmark such a "machine" costs around 700 dollars and I thought I might build one myself.
I have a digital scale, that can weigh in grains, which is the units we reloaders use for measurering the amount of powder we want in a cartridge.
My idea is:
Take my digital scale, take a powder trickler like this:

Connect it to a little DC motor to it, and then somehow make an circuit that controls when the motor should stop.
But how can I make such a circuit, that I can connect/hack to my digital scale and stop the DC motor, when the scale reaches a surtain weight?
The Scale I have is one like this:

Any ideas?
Hope you can help me.
Best regards
Jacob
