Hey just discovered this channel! By the way the production of the video is really good. Keep it up ! Perhaps, you could try making a Wi-Fi Swich? (For eg, turning on a light or a stereo while you're still at work) ps: The only slightly complain I might have is that sketchy music, that prob 80% of cheap tutorials in instagram have. Maybe consider using some type of soothing music !

Jose V wouldn't think so. But it shouldn't be to hard to do that. Either by hand or by printer. Think by hand is faster though.

This is hardcore DIY. Using only basic tools is awesome. I really hate other DIY videos that do stuff with ease and with $70.000 worth stuff in workshop..

You've got skill, brains and patience. Well done.

I admire your meticulous attention to detail!

Great job with minimal tools and no 3D printing! Very resourceful!

this is exactly what I'm doing for my final year project except that I add temperature sensor as another input. great video!

Using the drill to turn the pieces while holding them against the sandpaper is a great way to adjust their size and gives a near perfect precision. It's also good to use connectors whenever you can. Overall, I quite enjoyed watching the project take shape. One thing to adjust is to put a tube over the photoresistor to direct the light that gets to it, so it's easier to adjust when you want it to receive light, where you want it to receive light from and how much.

This is a fantastic video! Hoping to replicate it. Also, the fly at the end is hilarious!

No way. I had this exact same idea and didn't know if a NEMA 17 motor would be enough. I already have it but I am waiting for my EasyDriver to arrive. Thanks for showing me that it can be done!

Thanks for a REALLY GOOD tutorial! 😃 And BIG thumbs up for not only providing links to all the necessary parts, but also writing out the NAME/LABELING for each one in full! I really HATE when people are using affiliate links that requires you to visit the link in order to figure out the full product label! 😩 I don't visit certain sites that are simillar to Amazon etc. (I'm not necesarily talking about Amazon here!) due to their heavy datacollection policy, so I'm forced to search for the parts on other sites that has terms and condition I can agree to! (And no, disabling cookies for ALL sites doesn't prevent online profiling. There are ways for companies to get around that 😑 It's not that I have stuff to hide or anything, it's just the fact that they seemingly don't care if I'm comfortable giving strangers access to my life or not. They are just selfishly forcing themselves in anyway 😒)

Great stuff. That nema 17 will have loads of power for that job. I have a small servo doing the same thing. I am on my third auto blind now. To make things easier I got rid of the chain and glued the blind bung straight onto the motor using and stainless tube that I crushed onto the keyed shaft. But instead of stepper I used a geared motor off ebay. Then a hall effect transistor to detect where the shaft was. Work great on BnQ blinds.

Damian Butterworth greatest idea to mount the motor directly on the blind.

Polymath you are, with an excellent knowledge of motors, computers, electricity, electronics, engineering, carpentry, and do-it-yourself fabrication! Who knows, maybe bronze-casting and post-quantum metaphysics, as well. Good presentation, too. It was a half-hour meditation for me on the beauty of making things work for one's self and how most of us default to stock manufactured products and others' expertise.

Awsome work!! I liked you approach - I have only one question, Why you didn't mount it on he top part at the same level of the axel of the Blinds? But for most all the thinking you put in this what and how you solve with common resource is the impressive part.....I think there are a couples of initial setup if the power goes off that you might have to do - like where is zero position (is fully open)? Or the arduion will run a full open (that will require control the physical speed of the step motor to check if is not moving to stop it)

@dial2277

Thanks for the nice comment! Some people offered to fix the motor on the axis of the curtains, but I do not want to spoil the main structure. Perhaps another time. I've been wanting to do it with a chain-gearing. The problem with turning off the power is not solved yet. Top or bottom position is set at the first stage. If it's light, it is necessary to draw the curtains, and then connect the power.

Please help I need the code used.
