Automatic Window Blinds Controller (PICAXE)

Step 8 Mount The Controller To The Blinds

- Put the metal hook on the blinds through the hole you drilled in the motor shaft and attach the controller box to the blinds using a self tapping screw or Velcro strips. I used a screw which meant I had to mount the circuit board after I attached the box to the blinds. Velcro would allow me to completely assemble the controller before mounting it to the blinds. Velcro would also make it easier to remove the controller if I ever needed to.

- Attach the battery holder to the controller box using Velcro.

- I added a label to the front of my controller so I would know what each switch does when I need to make position adjustments.
