Hello, a question, forgive my ignorance, I am new to this, what is the name of the frame to which the motor to which the curtain is attached is connected?

This circuit can operate on 2 AAA batteries?
@wedgehacker5 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.

Why not a esp 32 then it would be actually automated if you combine it with something like home assistant
@wedgehacker5 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.

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 ?
@wedgehacker8 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.

Hi why my motor not moving when no load attach at shaft. When i hold the shaft then it moving?
@wedgehacker8 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.
@wedgehacker Жыл 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.

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.

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?
@wedgehacker3 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.
