    @franzelare Great. Good Luck with the build.

    I'll be posting my HW design and Code as part of Contest on openhardware.io

        @barduino I tried downloading the code, it works. Anyways I am pasting the code below.

        For end stops I have not yet decided. I had some Ideas of using Hall effect sensor on both ends and a small piece of magnet in the string to detect ends or Maybe use stop switches. Not sure but will have to try both and see which works the best.

        I am yet to clean the code I have some debugging serial prints in code which will remove once finalized.

        #include <SPI.h>
        #include <MySensor.h>
        
        
        int motor_forward = 5;

        int LDRinput = 1;     //analog pin to which LDR is connected, here we set it to 0 so it means A0
        int LDRValue = 0;      //that�s a variable to store LDR values
        int light_sensitivity = 500;    //This is the approx value of light surrounding your LDR
        
        int stopSwLeft = 4;
        int stopSwRight = 3;

        @Suresh-Mali

        I'm just curious, maybe its the arduino IDE version or something.

        I'm using 1.6.4 and I get this:

        0_1458129604092_upload-1364c257-d6a3-46d0-bdec-ff24cf9d2b41

        However opening with a text editor is fine:

        0_1458129652911_upload-e1883418-162b-4aba-bacf-d3e85436cca7

        Cheers

          @barduino Seems like the IDE. Open any example MySensors Sketch. Delete the contents from sketch and copy paste from my sketch. I guess that should work.

          Are you able to compile any other sketch in Arduino?

            @AWI Are you able to share the sketch you used with the UL2003 driver board? I have tried to combine the MySensors servo sketch with other arduino only sketches utilizing the UL2003, but without luck. Thanks.

              @patchmaster I used the relay sketch and modified it to my needs. Sorry but I dont have any sketch for ULN2003. :disappointed:

                @patchmaster This is my current curtain control sketch. I work with the development branch, so the syntax can be a little different.

                The Accelstepper library gives you all the abilities to slow start/stop with numerous kinds of steppers.
                My sketch includes a calibration function (stored in EEPROM) so the you don't need end stop detection (a stepper knows where it is)

                  @patchmaster This is my current curtain control sketch. I work with the development branch, so the syntax can be a little different.

                  The Accelstepper library gives you all the abilities to slow start/stop with numerous kinds of steppers.
                  My sketch includes a calibration function (stored in EEPROM) so the you don't need end stop detection (a stepper knows where it is)

                  @AWI Thanks. I have been using the Accelstepper library, but this has already given me several other ideas.
                  I appreciate the help.

                    @patchmaster This is my current curtain control sketch. I work with the development branch, so the syntax can be a little different.

                    The Accelstepper library gives you all the abilities to slow start/stop with numerous kinds of steppers.
                    My sketch includes a calibration function (stored in EEPROM) so the you don't need end stop detection (a stepper knows where it is)

                      @Tore-André-Rosander are you using the development branch? The errors seem to indicate that is the case.

                        @AWI Thank you, that helped :)
                        I now have it up and running.

                        But how do i connect and use this with a controller (like Domoticz)?

                        I use an ESP gateway (from the dev branch) and the curtain node is connected and showing up in domoticz.
                        But how do i make domoticz send commands to the curtain node?

                        All i get when adding the curtain node both as on/off button and blinds in domoticz is "unreconized" in the curtain serial monoitor.

                          @Tore-André-Rosander I have defined it as "Blinds Percentage" in Domoticz. This send the V_STATUS and V_PERCENTAGE messages where the node should respond to...

                            @AWI THanks again for your fast replys!

                            This is what i get in serial monitor when i use the "up" "down" buttons for blinds percentage in domoticz.

                            This is my very first MySensor setup so it might be some error with my setup, i will have a deeper look at it later tonight.

                              @Tore-André-Rosander Nothing wrong with you interpretation. I have not written this sketch as a complete S_COVER implementation. Only the V_PERCENTAGE part (not V_UP/V_DOWN). If you define it in Domoticz as "Blinds percentage" (see my previous post) it will work. Sorry for the confusion.

                                @AWI Seems like my problem is with Domoticz itselfe.
                                I have the same problem as described in this post https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7748

                                  @Tore-André-Rosander You can probably solve it by deleting the sensor in Domoticz and let the sketch present itself as S_DIMMER (and use another sensor id)

                                    Maybe its because i have not calibrated it? I dont have any pushbuttons laying around, so im gonna make one with some wires. But i see that there is two pins defined as buttons. Should i use the buttonPin1 as VCC?

                                    So it would look something like buttonPin1 -> buttonPin2 -> button -> gnd?

                                      @Tore-André-Rosander You can ignore buttonpin2. Just connect your "button" to buttonpin1 and ground.

                                        Looks good. I am curious to see the details... jealous for the speed :runner: your curtain is moving.

                                        I have been working on a similar project last week. The mechanics and ´looks´ are the most difficult part for me.

                                        For now I have used a ´tuned´ cheap & small stepper which makes it slooow but effective ;-) The rail and mounting is standard IKEA. The pro-mini has the jModule attached. Works like a charm (/snail)!

                                        @AWI I'm curious where you got the rails for the curtain. I wasn't been able to find them, but stumbled on this topic.
