Automatic Blinds

thingiverse

I built this project to automate my blinds, programming them to rise at a precise time every morning. First, I 3D printed several components and salvaged an old motor from a 2D printer. Next, I wrote code in Arduino to bring the system to life. To add a timing element, I hacked an older clock, integrating it into my automation setup. However, I discovered that with my chosen gear ratio and motor speed, the blinds move at a pace that's a bit too swift. Fortunately, this can be easily adjusted by adding more gears to slow things down if desired. If you have any questions or need further clarification, simply jot them in the comments below - I'll be more than happy to provide detailed answers!
