    After one month of use with lithium-ion battery 2500mA, I will write real results of autonomy if you are interested? If this video is useful or at least interesting to you. Then subscribe, comment, and like, this will help me a lot !! < UPDATE 04/12/2021 I don't know why, but HA only shows the logs for the last " 12deys 3.5 - 4% drop" and assuming that the discharge will not decrease linearly we can expect 8-11 months of autonomy >

      is it possible to do something like this on 28BYJ-48 and DRV8825 driver>?

    • @PricelessToolkit
      @PricelessToolkit  2 года назад

      Yes of course but it will consume more power

    Holy moly! This is amazing. Interesting to add a tiny solar panel then you really wouldn't need to even think about it

      Hi, thanks, I already bought a small solar panel. but first I want to try 1 month in real condition and find out the real power consumption. 3 days have passed since the start of the test, the charge dropped by 0.7-0.8%

    Nice, you got yourself a new subscriber here! Really like how you made a very slick case to it. Making it “pretty” sometimes takes even more than the project itself. I would add a physical interrupt to wake it up if you want to manually operate it (and not wanting to wait 10min) a button, touch switch, PIR at a very slim angle, or a LDR sensor in a hole in the casing or similar those can be battery friendly and help with user experience.

      Thank you very much, every time I read a comment like yours, I am joyful like a child. On my GitHub page, you can find a new version of the board with pins for connecting buttons., but the PCB has become a little larger. You need to change a few dimensions of the case.

    Can you add this product to your shop. I would purchase a few of these if they were available.

      Hi, I didn't design it for selling, and I don't have any plans to sell it. However, you can assemble it yourself since all the files are available.

    Nice video. Been watching the hookup’s video on blind automation and came across your video. Would love to make a version where all the components fit in the blind holder, but don’t know how to do that. Is it possible to implement a stepper motor instead of a servo?

    • @PricelessToolkit
      @PricelessToolkit  2 года назад

      Thanks, Specifically with this board, no, but the principle is the same during sleep, you need to turn off the stepper power to save energy

    So until next 10 minute window you can't control your blinds?

      Hi, it's for opening and closing with the "sun" HA Automation rather than manual. And yes you can open/close manually but you have to wait :)

    Do you thing about to use two physical switch for manual operate blinds? It would be useful.

    • @PricelessToolkit

      Basically, I only need to add two "interrupt capable" breakout pins to the board.

      Added a new board to the Github :). The board has become a little bigger, it will not fit into the case. You need to change the 3d model. Look V2.jpg

      @@zdenekherzig7112 no, I have no time for testing now, working on next project see community tab.
      you can try this
      1. attach interrupt pin
      2. after wakeup publish the desired angle! if no it will return onto original position after next wakeup
      3. turn the servo
      4. sleep
      if I get a few hours of free time, I'll try! by the way, I love RC cars too!

    Can I use a standard ESP32 dev board?

    • @PricelessToolkit
      @PricelessToolkit  2 года назад

      Hi, yes, probably you need to change the code slightly but the question is 1) how much power it will consume in Deep-sleep mode. 2) the servo motor needs 5v. on my board, I have a step-up converter for servo, and during sleep, there is no power going through.
