I guess that PCB is a custom design you made to control the peltier element and fan based on the measured temperature and humidity? I'm lost, is there documentation somewhere on the PCB itself? That really seems to be the meat and potatoes of the project, after all. Also, I'd love a little info on how you made the humidity and dew point plots. That's VERY relevant to my interests :)

I'm curious both about the strength (can't wait for some longer-term notes!) and how the CNC wall construction compares to good old framing and nails with respect to effort. I'm unclear where there are gains to be made going this way. I've seen some other tiny house concepts integrate CNC, but for less pervasive aspects of construction. For example, CNC-shaped panels for cabinetry, since it's much faster and easier to assemble ikea-style cabinets that already fit the tight space perfectly vs hand-shape something to fit as well. I wonder if you feel like you saved effort, in practice, assembling the cut shapes vs nailing.

Smart! How cheap were they and where did you get them? Certainly much easier that way.

Damn pretty!

Great design!

1) Absolutely gorgeous! 2) that satisfying snap when it locks into place - great attention on the detent! 3) Awesome production value on the instructable.

I'd sure love to see a video! I'm in the process of a similar project, but the issue I'm finding is that the 1:48 gear ratio is still much too tall. When driven hard enough to have the necessary torque, the blinds move way too fast (and precisely stopping at full-open is hard). I've found those cheap stepper motors seem to work very well, but I'd love not to have 6 wires per window.

How on earth did you find the TIME for this?! And the space before and after deployment? I'm just so shocked by the immensity of the build.

Well, two things, I guess: space, and the freedom to hang a giant friggin' pirate ship in it :)

Clever and simple, I like it!But you definitely shouldn't use this in any practical application. As others mention, it's got some limitations. The most important one, as far as I'm concerned, is that the relay will only last about 30 minutes before falling apart, and when it does, it'll likely fail in such a way that the transformer sees only DC from a very high power source, likely resulting in wires catching fire. Relays are typically rated for 100,000 actuations, which get used up pretty quickly when you switch at 60Hz.

Looks great, good work!
