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 !
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..
Hey that was a great video. I'm a paraplegic, I get around real well, played wheelchair basketball and did locksmithing for 20 years. But the there are things I can't easily get to and the curtains is one of them. This will be my first project!

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.
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!

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.
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.
Perhaps one of the most unusual and amazing comments I have ever read! Thank you for your kind words addressed to me. I'm very pleased to know that the time spent watching the video was spent to the benefit!
Great project. Next is to control it with MQTT. :-) Anyways, a protection for the gears when small children are visiting would be nice. Just some plate of transparent plastic would be enough. And still showing the device and gears moving. But, great and inspiration to do myself. Thanks.
You. Are. Amazing. I haven't even finished watching your vid and have already liked and subscribed. Do you have an engineering background? Your officially one of my favourite people. The world needs more innovators, creator's, inventors and general intelligence. Perseverance. And vids like this on TH-cam as apposed to a lot of the other... Junk. Well done. Congratulations on being awesome.
Very nice. Even if i like 3d-printing parts for projects like this, i really like your woodwork and the look of the wooden gears. Its looking really nice.
Estaría genial tener los planos de las piezas para crear el modelado 3D e imprimir un kit cada vez que se requiera. Translated with google: It would be great to have the blueprints of the parts to create the 3D modeling and print a kit whenever required.
no need to bind the thing with a photo-receptor just code the function by time at 9 am open the curtains etc. so you will bypass some errors like automatically closes the curtains when its rains or a cloud blocks the sun nice project btw !
Thank you for your comment! I am very pleased! :) Machine with CNC and 3D printer that's my dream. They have significantly expanded my abilities, but while I use that I have :) And one can repeat what he saw. Already have an idea to improve this mechanism.
Nice. I've had a CNC router which is very nice, though a laser cutter or 3D printer are the next big tools I think would be awesome. I doubt it ever ends though :)
Coba jika motor stepper itu di aplikasikan langsung di pinggir relnya pasti jadi tidak ribet bikin roda segala, paling cuma beli flexsible caupling saja kan praktis. Try if the stepper motor was applied directly on the edge of the track would not be complicated to make all wheels, most just buy flexsible caupling it's practical

That was nicely done my friend..... I would like these all around the house, wireless controlled fron one arduino and stepper driver board. Maybe you can do that one next😀
Absoluetly wonderfull. You deserve a lot of respect. You earned mine. Congratulations is a really weak word about this. Just thank you ! We want more !
Hello! Could I please ask for permission to the files, for creation of Automated blinds? I am woking on a project for University, and I found your project really helpful! Thank you beforehand! 🙂
Hello, Thank you for this video, I have been following it and made by own, using the same motor and gears. however I can not get the motor to work on the reverse, to roll the blinds back up again, as it requires more pull. Do you have any advice?

This is a wonderful idea - I have to try it with a heavy outside blind. What I see are a young man's hands - I wish you to l be alive - and that you're meanwhile not one of those poor men in Putins dead soldiers collection, in this goddammed war!. God bless!
This is kind a awesome idea, I appreciate your invention. :) But it's a lot of work for me :D I built something different. I have venetian blind so I decided to only open and close venetian blind and it works very well :D
HI thank you for this video but i have a question to ask you forgot to declar the 'DISTANCE' in your program ;it was not declared so what should i do i'm a beginner !!
How will I do this? I have strings that has to be pulled down and spun around a piece of plastic in order to stay up. :) I was given the tip about a "JGY370", but I don't know... Do you have any ideas? Thank you for making this video!
This is perfect. Exactly what I wanted but can you integrate it with google home instead of a photo cell. Also how does the motor know the length of the curtain.
Thank you for your question! With great gear I just increased the shoulder of the force. The rotation speed is reduced and torque increased. More detail you can read about it by typing into a search engine the word "reduction gear". ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B5%D1%85%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%83%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80
Excellent documentation, very cheap parts, a lot of details , very simple tools involved . Did you try to command via internet? This can be the next step.Excellent job. keep it like that.
I will start my own automatic blinds controller and I want to do also via internet. This is why I ask you about this. How to communicate with an cloud server and with an open source android application.Cheers.
Just curious ? But, why not use a stepper motor with more torque and just install it at the top of the curtain on the roller portion so that there wouldn't be a need to fabricate all those gears ? Best Regards :-)
Really wanted to do, but was just such a motor. I had to improvise. I wanted to do just the sprocket gearing. Do not want to climb upstairs. I think that most people would prefer to hook the chain and attach to the wall than to go up and something to do there. Thanks for your questions! Good luck!
nice video, the diy factor in this video is indeed hardcore (because of the basic tools used). im only watching for the technique as im going for 3dPrinted style (wich probably wasnt so easily available when this video was made). 2 comments.. 1- you have one of a kind realy ugly blinds! :-) 2- wouldnt it be better if you bought nema17 5kg-torqued steppers? (it ouwld eliminate the need for the gears and will be way faster?) anyway, this vid was real helpfull for me. thnx very much for all the effort!
Thanks for the good comment! I just used what was in the house. Of course there are better solutions. Now I would have done it on a 3D printer, but then I did not have it. But not everyone has a 3D printer and many want to see the production with use simple tools of their available materials. 1) :) you're right! 2) Yes, of course you're right, it will be better. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Very nicely done! This was great fun to watch :D Loved the funny moments :P I have you since added a window comparator to stop the code toggling rapidly between light and dark states?
Dial Most welcome! :D I love the detail you put into making the drive wheel, very nicely done! :D I wonder if it would be possible to add a counterweight to the chain to counter the weight of the blinds? Would that make it easier for the motor to drive it? Brilliant idea using the luggage scales to test the force, by the way :D
Thank you! I also liked driving sprocket, although I have only about a sign of how it will look. It turned out not bad)) over the counterweight may think. It will help when lifting the curtains, but will resist the descent. If I get you right. I am glad that appreciated the idea with weights. Everything worked out exactly! :)
You could make this piece on a 3d printer more easily and also . why not attach the motor at the axis of the roller? (edited: this video is from 2007!!!, that explain everything. :)
My friends! What else can I do for you? What are your problems? What else do you want to see on my channel?
Thank you, good idea!
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 !
Controlling it with Google Voice recognition and RPi? ;-)
Is there a 3D printable version of the gears?
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..
I was pleased to read your review! Thank you so much! You are right about expensive projects using complex tools. Few can repeat them.
Hey that was a great video. I'm a paraplegic, I get around real well, played wheelchair basketball and did locksmithing for 20 years. But the there are things I can't easily get to and the curtains is one of them. This will be my first project!
Thanks for your comment! You are an amazing person! :) Good luck!
I really love the way you used ordinary tools and lots of thought in this project. Nicely done!
Glad you liked it! Have a nice day! :)
I love the way you use everyday tools to do much more advanced things. Awesome!
Thanks for the feedback! Have a nice week!
You've got skill, brains and patience. Well done.
I admire your meticulous attention to detail!

i THUMBS DOWN YOU BECAUSE OF THE HORRIBLE FUCKING INANE MUSIC.
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.

Great job with minimal tools and no 3D printing! Very resourceful!
Nice use of simple inexpensive hand tools that anyone may have.
Your truth! Thanks for watching and comment!
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.
Thanks for the great comments and your ideas! Good luck to you! =)
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.

Great project. Next is to control it with MQTT. :-)
Anyways, a protection for the gears when small children are visiting would be nice. Just some plate of transparent plastic would be enough. And still showing the device and gears moving.

This is so awesome. I'll definitely do the same as soon as I've some free time! Instead of Arduino I'll go for ESP32. Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad.
realy amazing for such a low budget project. You had not much tools by hand, but for that you did a amazing great job! well done!! keep going!
Thank you so much! =)
Hi i found that your project is helpful. I'd be grateful if you open the restriction on google drive
Brilliant! I admire your patience and how you do things properly. I could definatly learn from that :)
Thank you so much
Thanks for the inspiration!! Now I need to figure out this to combine with home bridge then homekit.
Clever and brilliant ! Congrats !
excellent video. I enjoyed watching you craft the sprocket gears and case! nice work.
Many thanks for the pleasant words! Glad you liked it!
hi. if in the early its dark for ldr detect. the motor will work to close the blind and make the gear broken.. you can help me with the code?

what motor do you need, I have a curtain that is almost 2 meters wide so I would need a very strong motor

Hello,
Thank you for this video, I have been following it and made by own, using the same motor and gears.
however I can not get the motor to work on the reverse, to roll the blinds back up again, as it requires more pull.
Do you have any advice?
Damn.....that's awesome.....
how did you connect the motor drive, stepper motor and arduino.can i see the circuit please?
I'm exhausted and impressed watching that. Please join a 3D printer club.

can operate blind manually by hand, and arduino knows its position and resume?
Awesome. Iv'e been wanting to make something like this for ages. Would be super keen to hook it up with Alexa or make an app.
:) thanks for the comment
hey there,
I have those metal blinds, kind of like doors. not sure the names. is there a way to automate that with arduino? not sure what to use.
they look like this pt.habcdn.com/photos/quotation/gallery/portada-24760.jpg
Man you're a genius
I would like them to be. This is not the case), but thank you for the nice words! :)
Hi. May I ask you what volage and current you provided?

How did you created the gear support frame ? How to measurement and make custom frame like that ?
WOW !! excellent work!

you may want to work on the english subs in the vid itself, those aren't totaly correct english, but thats the only problem i saw, great vid!
how can I do that on 8 curtains??
What did you use to draw Gear Support's?!
why not 28byj ? a lot cheaper, enough torq
