Proposal
We hope to create an apparatus that opens your window shades automatically in the morning, acting as a nicer way to wake up than an annoying alarm. Our apparatus would use a stepper motor to open the shades paired with a Raspberry Pi. The stimuli to open the shades would be based on time as inputted by the user using a keypad attached to an LCD. The LCD would display the current time as well as the current weather.
Possible Add-ons:
- Stimuli to open shades based on light sensor
- Second stepper motor/mechanism to control orientation of slats
- Motor powered by solar panel
Overview
Overall objectives:
- Build frame and shade
- Program Raspberry Pi display LCD (time and weather)
- Use NTP
- Program Raspberry Pi to accept input from user
- Program Raspberry Pi to control motors
- Program Raspberry Pi to respond to stimuli
- 3D print pieces to attach blind to shade
- Attach motors to frame/shade
- up/down pull-string
- twist bar
