Robot Blinds Control

Lazy much? Blind control to major tom... I can now control the blind/shades on my deck from my phone! With a little bit of hot glue, a couple wood screws and some pieces of 2x4 ends I had lying around.

Hmm... Using an IoTiny, and doing the super cap mod so that you don't need a killer expensive AC/DC converter, this could be a little less expensive than the least expensive home automation blind controllers.

Maybe 3D print a case for it all....

Nomad, They are big and heavy, but Lead Acid gel cells can be charged and used at the same time. Not suitable for something like a JD, but for large or stationary robots, that is an option.
