In this video I’ll be showing you how to build your own automatic blind opener using an Arduino Pro Micro and a stepper motor. The stepper motor is driven using an A4988 stepper motor driver and the opener is controlled through an infrared receiver. This enables it to be controlled using most standard infrared remote controls as well as through many smart home devices such as an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot using a universal remote. For a detailed write-up on the build and further description of the code & 3D print files, have a look at the full build through this link – https://www.the-diy-life.com/arduino-automatic-blind-opener-works-with-a-remote-control-alexa/ Parts List and Purchase Links: Arduino Pro Micro - https://amzn.to/2URgInG Nema 17 Stepper Motor - https://amzn.to/3bD5ERQ A4988 Motor Driver - https://amzn.to/3aEDdDc Infrared Receiver - https://amzn.to/341rmfG 10K Resistor - https://amzn.to/2yrVCot 100uF Capacitor - https://amzn.to/2UzqNqj Infrared Remote (With Sensor) - https://amzn.to/343jdra Machine Screws - https://amzn.to/2V7vaZ5 Ribbon Wire - https://amzn.to/340xB3B Header Strips - https://amzn.to/2wY3k9g 3D Printer Used - https://amzn.to/33MXHH0 Filament - https://amzn.to/2QNYemS If you’ve got any suggestions for Arduino projects or tutorials, let me know in the comments section below.
