For our first project I will look at automating some venetian blinds that we had installed a while back. This project came about through a need for reducing the amount of sunlight into our home office, minimising any sun damage to books and equipment. The list of components used for this project include:
1 x Arduino Uno
2 x High torque servos
1 x Proto screw Shield v3 expansion board
1 x servo/motorshield
2 x N-MOSFET transistors
1 x 12vdc power supply
1 x double barrel splitter
1 x roll of black wire
1 x roll of red wire
1 x roll of white wire
