Hello guys,

I would like to share my result of motorize zebra blinds.

Mechanical and electrical +plugin.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

All hardware could be printed on 3D printer.

Bearing: https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shi ... 33edWHE4Q4

Motor: 12V 30RPM https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Diam-17m ... 33edWHE4Q4

Antena: https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shi ... 33edWHE4Q4

ESP8266: https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/ESP-07S- ... 33edWHE4Q4

I used magneds 1/8 x 1/16 7pcs and 1/4 x 1/8 1pcs from here https://www.kjmagnetics.com

PCB I ordered here https://jlcpcb.com/quote

Any question do not hesitate!

Sorry for duplicate photo, I have no idea how to delete one.

That looks cool.
Do you also have a short video demonstrating it?

Based on the photo's I would say the PCB is rotating, but I guess that's not very likely???
And do you have more info on the "encoder" ?
I assume it Is the magnet and A3144 Hall-effect switch, but where is the magnet located?
Where is the limit switch located?

Is the used motor a quiet one, or are there better choices?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest:)

Here is the video https://photos.app.goo.gl/Suhj2mcA1qZv7Xc49

For sure PCB is not rotating.

Encoder has 7 magnets 1/8 x 1/16 and Hall effect sensor ‎AH3363Q

Limit switch located on the bottom of the case. See photo:

A really nice project. Love it! I might have to get myself a similar setup.
