I have recently purchased a Yamaha F8MM-204-1106 feeder and I am trying to operate it with OpenPnP without using air pressure. However, I have no idea how to control it. I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to set it up and control it effectively using OpenPnP.
The power connector has pins labeled as follows: 1 & 2 for optocouplers, 3 for GND, and 4 for 24V.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have used this Yamaha Feeder. You will use the Reference Auto Feeder of OpenPnP. The control circuit you will control 2 Opto pins.

i'm using this feeders too, since six years

you could trigger it very easy with an arduino or similar, just sending an 1ms pulse to the optocoupler input

it's important, that you enable the optocoupler input in the feeder setup (see feeder manual)
