First, amazing project!
second,
if you integrate the WiFiManager to your code. that will can be use in the further when someone change his SSID or something

https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

Should work with a 360° stepper, even a 270° for a lot of blinds. Make it a much smaller form factor and less complex

I followed the diagram and wired everything twice but the esp8266 doesn't seem to be turning on. It turns on when connected to my laptop. I know you can't know the problem without seeing the circuit physically so what are the general issues with it?

These are the errors I am getting:

Attempting MQTT connection...failed, rc=-2 try again in 5 seconds

Hello,

I'm buying these electronics part and gonna try to make this work for fun project. It says I need npn transistors but I don't find them in your schematic ? Also is that possible to add a picture of the back of your breadcrumb ?

Thanks :)

Hi,
I just wanted to say thanks for publishing these project files. I'm relatively new to the 3D printing and Arduino world, and I used this project to learn how to build a similar device myself, with some improvements. You can find my result at https://github.com/apanteleev/autoblinds and reuse any ideas if you want to.

I am sort of lost in terms on how to control my blinds motor. I have successfully setup a wifi connection between my esp8266 and MQTT connection also reports as successfull (at that's what the console reports). Now how do I actually operate the motor? I dont see esp8266 on my homeassistant dashboard.

when I compile with Arduino ide 1.9 I get the following errors
can you supply info on compiling the code
THANX

Hi, currently the thingiverse link provided in the readme is broken.
Would it be possible to get the objects included in the git repo as well for redundancy?
