How to control Window Curtains with Phone: DIY Arduino Automation (2024)

This circuit can operate on 2 AAA batteries?

@wedgehacker2 ай бұрын

It won’t as it needs more juice. The minimum for a 555 timer IC is 5v (4 AAAs) but you will have to readjust the values of the components to accommodate the voltage drop.

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

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

@wedgehacker2 ай бұрын

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.

Can you help me to understand how much total revaluation is needed according to the curtain, how to determine it & how to change that in the code ?

@wedgehacker5 ай бұрын

The number of turns depends on the width of your curtain, so you’ll have to do some trial and error. In the code, you’ll see two lines [for (int i=1; i<=16; i++)], to open and close, where it says 16 is the number of turns that worked for me. Make sure the number on both match exactly* Hope this helps.

This project uses Arduino Uno R4 which has built in WiFi; however, you can use any Arduino board with an external WiFi module.

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

@wedgehacker5 ай бұрын

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!

Thanks for the video. Since there are no sensors, the program relays on the status as reported by the cloud, which means internet connection must be valid, and no manual changes were made to the curtain.

@wedgehacker9 ай бұрын

Yeah, I kept the default on startup as curtain closed, so if you started with the curtain open, it won't work. A simple limit switch would do the trick.

@YigalBZ2 жыл бұрын

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.

Love it! That's exactly right, salvaging some usefull stuff and preventing ewaste. Scanners have a cool piece inside them that's just wasteful to throw away. The sensor can be used as a cool RGB lighting strip, but it has many sensitive sensors so you can use it to make any surface a touchscreen :D This channel is going places

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?

@wedgehacker2 жыл бұрын

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.
