On the servo it is just a standard hobby servo that i bought from servocity.com. it really moved pretty easy, the metal dispenser is a thin aluminum strip from home depot. the screws on both sides are in the wood but have a good amount of space so the metal moves back and forth with little effort. to drive it i simply used a clone arduino. Hope that helps... if you have more questions let me know. Hi Jim, sorry it has taken me a bit to respond, GoDaddy has been having issues with my blog..

Can I ask what servo you used and how you drive it? Moving the dispenser must take a little bit of force. Thanks Jim Awesome project. Can I ask what servo you used and how you drive it?

Hook up your project to a garden hose and install a software recognition to tag squirrels and I'm sure you'll be able to sell your Waterhobo to many gardeners! Nice work!
