Blind Controller With Stepper Motors | 28BYJ-48 Motors

thingiverse

Here is a kit for the 28BYJ-48 motor that lets you control your blinds. It opens and closes blinds with a rod, where the housing sits at the bottom of the rod and sticks to the wall as shown in the pictures. I've included SketchUp files so you can edit it however you want. You'll need to do some modeling to make a joint for your blinds, which I've already partially created. The main SketchUp model includes the housing itself along with the top, and they fit together nicely. You'll only have to edit the coupling since I couldn't possibly model one for every blinds' rod. You can use any 28BYJ-48 motor you want - just pick your source! I chose the one listed below because of its value, but you could also use the extras in other projects. I also picked some cabling to make it easy to wire up. The cabling was originally meant for RGB lighting but I repurposed it with some soldering and it works great - and it's really cheap compared to others!
