Blind Controller With Stepper Motors | 28BYJ-48 Motors

thingiverse

Here is a kit for the 28BYJ-48 motor, that allows you to control your blinds. It opens (and closes) blinds that have a rod. The housing sits at the bottom of the rod, and sticks to the wall, as shown in the pictures. I've included the SketchUp files, so you can edit it as you please. You will have to do some modeling to make a joint for your blinds, which I've already created partially. The main SketchUp model includes the housing itself, along with the top. They fit together nicely as they are. The coupling should be the only thing you have to edit, however, since I cannot possibly model one for every blinds' rod. You can use any 28BYJ-48 Motor. Pick your source. I chose the one listed below for the value. You could also use the extras in other projects too! :D I also chose some cabling to make it easy to wire up. The cabling is originally supposed to be used to wire RGB lighting but I completely repurposed it with some soldering! It works great and it's incredibly cheap compared to others!
