I've been thinking of making one.
Instead of a spinning tube, I was thinking of a tiny vibrating motor.
I've found that some electric toothbrush have one that just might work.
I think I saw one with the same idea for sale someplace.
You will need a speed controller. I believe most motors can be controlled using pulse width modulation (pwm)
If all you need is push a button and it goes, there's a bunch of automated dispensers out there. Rcbs, Lyman, Prometheus, autotrickler, etc. No need to build one. Let the enginerds who actually know how to build things, build these things

Rotation works great... and yes PWM is the key, along with gear boxes
Sometimes electric makes repeatable chores much easier. In my situation, very much easier.

I have an Older Midway battery Operated with just a simple Button. Plain and simple
I was doing the same, albeit a bit different.
I was gonna use a Lee Perfect Scale and high speed trickle to a certain point.
a sensor on the beam indicated movement and slowed the trickle down.
I was using a micro controller.
I was having 3D printed parts made by a friend, but he moved away so project stopped.
That way every charge was actually weighed by a scale; non electronic.
I used to calibrate electronic scales as part of my job; don't trust them a heck of a lot.
I made one with a tiny gear motor on the end of my hornady trickler and a push button. It’s nice. I slipped a small lithium battery inside the base and it’s lasted years
I'm with John Boy, thumb & forefinger.
