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.

Typically 6v or 12v. EZ-B with just camera could use either. You only need 7.4 if using servos.

How long it will run depends on the amp-hours the battery stores vs the amps drawn by the EZ-B and camera (which is not much).

Those look fine. It will take about 6 hours to fully charge the battery, but with 12 amp hours that battery should last a long time between charges. The EZ-B and camera draws just 180ma, so it will run for a couple of days between charges if I am doing the math right.

You will need to set the low voltage alert to lower voltage or disable it so the EZ-B does not complain.
