How to automate any Window Curtain for $20 | Arduino Automation

Показать описание

In this video, an old window curtain is motorised for $20. With a push of a button, the curtain opens and closes.

Got something you want to see the Wedge Hacker automate? Great! Just drop your idea in the comments section ( I read all comments, literally).

The window curtain is hacked (as usual) and becomes automated using an Arduino (UNO, but any other model should work) and a NEMA-17 Stepper Motor. Keep in mind, that you'll need an ordinary Curtain that uses a rail and a rope for opening and closing*.

Components Required:
L298N Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver (Genuine):
Rocker Push Button
Female-to-Female Jumpers
Male-to-Male Jumpers
6mm Wall Plugs and Screws

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?

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!

hello sir the link containing the circuit diagram does not use the L289N... could you please share the circuit diagram which uses the L289N?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?
