v2.1.0

What's New in v2.1.0

Proximity Feeding Mode

A new feeding paradigm powered by the VL6180X Time-of-Flight sensor. The feeder remains closed until the animal approaches and holds within range of the sensor for a configurable duration — no nose poke required.

Selectable as Program 5 in ClassicTumbleFeeder, or flash as a dedicated standalone sketch via the new ProximityFeeding example.

Settings (via the standard menu):

• Prox Duration — seconds the animal must hold near the sensor (1–10s)
• Device number, open duration, and servo positions (same as all other tasks)

Run screen displays:

• Appr — number of times animal was detected
• Open — number of successful feeder openings
• Feed — number of feeder rod touches during open periods

SD card logs Detected, Opening, and Closing events in the Event column, and Prox# in the FeedParadigm column.
