Automatic Blind Controller Version 2 - Amazon Alexa compatible

thingiverse

Control your blinds from anywhere with the Automatic Blind Controller - Version 2.\r\n\r\nThis controller is designed to work seamlessly with WiFi, allowing you to control your blinds using your mobile phone app or Amazon Alexa. An upgraded motor enables precise calibration of start/stop positions and scheduled opening/closing can be configured directly from within the app.\r\n\r\nIf plastic gear wear becomes an issue over time, a revised design that uses a metal coupler is available. The 6mm option works perfectly, preventing the gear from slipping over time. This coupler can be purchased here: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/KKDGZIzOGb. Additionally, a revised gear surround is necessary to accommodate the slightly larger gear.\r\n\r\nFull details, including the latest Arduino sketch and Blynk app, are available via: http://www.cabuu.com\r\n\r\nCheck out this example video:\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kHVWxrfqQg\r\n\r\nThis assembly video will guide you through the process:\r\nhttps://youtu.be/PDO27utYzSg\r\n\r\nTo complete your Automatic Blind Controller, you'll need the following parts in addition to the 3D printed components:\r\n\r\n1 x Custom PCB Circuit Board - purchase here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/697145809/blind-controller-pcb-version-2?ref=listings_manager_grid OR via eBay at this link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293473312653\r\n\r\n1 x D1 Mini Micro-controller - available here: https://www.banggood.com/Wemos-D1-Mini-V3_0_0-WIFI-Internet-Of-Things-Development-Board-Based-ESP8266-4MB-p-1264245.html?p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=223135\r\n\r\n1 x D1 Mini DC Shield - purchase at this link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC-Power-Shield-V1-0-0-for-WEMOS-D1-mini/32790327733.html\r\n\r\n1 x L298N 2 Channel DC Motor Driver - available here: https://www.banggood.com/Dual-Channel-L298N-DC-Motor-Driver-Board-PWM-Speed-Dual-H-Bridge-Stepper-Module-p-1162946.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN&p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=223119\r\n\r\n1 x DC 12V Worm Gear Motor with Encoder - purchase here: https://www.banggood.com/GM4632-370-DC-12V-30RPM-High-torque-Turbo-Encoder-Motor-Worm-Geared-Motor-Reducer-Motor-p-1069461.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN&p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=223122\r\n\r\n1 x WS2812B LED - available here: https://www.banggood.com/10Pcs-DC-5V-3MM-x-10MM-WS2812B-SMD-LED-Board-Built-in-IC-WS2812-p-958213.html?p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=223149\r\n\r\n2 x Buttons and Caps - purchase at this link: https://www.banggood.com/5Pcs-Electronic-Parts-Component-Resistors-Switch-Button-Kit-For-Arduino-p-1137466.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN&p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=223151\r\n\r\n2 x 10k Resistor - available here: https://www.banggood.com/5Pcs-Electronic-Parts-Component-Resistors-Switch-Button-Kit-For-Arduino-p-1137466.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN&p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=223151\r\n\r\n1 x 9V DC PSU - purchase here: https://www.banggood.com/Multi-Voltage-Power-Adapter-2500mA-3v-4_5v-5v-6v-9v-12v-DC-1A-Power-Supply-p-1151452.html?rmmds=search&ID=47184&cur_warehouse=CN&p=KF2715792233201409DJ&custlinkid=223167\r\n\r\nPlus a few small lengths of wire and various male/female header pins...
