great tutorial mate Edit: The mosquitoes

Very nice automation...

Half automation but u get the point

Can you show us how to do the same for a roman rod with roman rings on the curtains?

Thanks for the nice project. How do you control the situation after reset/power down? The Arduino's code doesn't know if the curtain is open or closed, or even in between, so you may try to open an opened curtain instead of opening a closed curtain.

I've just posted part 2 with a step-by-step guide to make the circuit. Watch it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKx4xNipZ9Cpc7w.html In part 2, the initial/startup default is closed, so you can either keep the Arduino running or simply close the curtain before powering off.

Looks sooo good!👌🏼 I am just in the process of installing this for a customer in their $1.6M home and they absolutely love the aesthetic of the stepper motor bolted to the wall! Good work!

Amazing hack. Been looking for something like this. But I dont get how you attach the belt. Do you have better pics of it?

Hello! I didn't understand where the yellow wire from the relay to the NC position comes on the arduino board. Will the L298 be powered by 5 volt arduino?

@wedgehacker

Hey Eliot. The L298 is powered by 12v DC external supply. As for the relay, the L298 module has been heating up after some time if powered but not in use; so, I placed a relay where the COM goes to the 12v + and the NO goes to the L298 V+. So when ever the button is clicked, the relay is switched ON, then the L298 is switched ON, and then the motor starts running and immediately after that, everything is switched back OFF again. Hope that helps.

Great idea! Any ideas to make it a little less noisy?

I was able to make it less noisy by adjusting the speed on the codes. All the codes are uploaded here: www.wedgehacker.com/automate-curtain/

Try a TMC2208 driver instead of an H bridge

Hi why my motor not moving when no load attach at shaft. When i hold the shaft then it moving?

Ensure your stepper motor is not faulty and ensure the motor driver is grounded. The ground must be a common ground between the Arduino, the driver, and the power source. Hope this helps!

Why not a esp 32 then it would be actually automated if you combine it with something like home assistant

True, but it's easier with an Arduino, and their native app. Plus, if you get the Arduino subscription (even the cheapest one), you can easily link it with Alexa.

@@wedgehacker arduino subscription? Arduino ide the tool to Program basically all arduino chips is free. Also there is a arduino with esp 32 ship the Arduino Nano ESP32. It adds wifi capabilities and it's like 19 euro or so and could replace your current microcontroller.

Cool! Can you provide the circut scheme? I can't open the website you linked before.

Male-to-Female jumpers would be better, I didn't have them at the time of recording.
