AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED SEED PLANTER Abstract An automatically controlled seed planter appara- tus is disclosed for planting seeds concurrently in a plu- rality of rows with controlled seed spacing, including a ro- tating drum for holding the seeds and transporting the seeds to a plurality of chutes. The apparatus includes transducers for detecting the rotational speed of the drum and for detect- ing the speed of the planter along the ground. The operator is provided with input controls for setting in signals corre- sponding to the desired seed spacing and to the configuration of the drum used. The above-mentioned signals are then fed to a control system which processes the signals to form an output signal which controls the rotational speed of the drum, resulting in a controlled seed spacing. A readout device is also provided for the operator to monitor the expected seed spacing produced in this manner by the apparatus, as well as warning the operator of any malfunctions in the system. - 1 -
