Project Development
Complete your final project, tracking your progress:
What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
What's working? what's not?
What questions need to be resolved?
What will happen when?
What have you learned?
What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
Task Completed
Fabrication of the project board from esp32 - Milling and soldering the components for project
Interfacning of circuit with LDR and testing with geared motor.
3D printing Gears
Desiging the outer housing of pully
What's working? what's not?
Working
-Gear machanisim and pully system is working well
- Limit Switches are functioning
Not working
I tried triple layers of fishing line spun together but the streachabilty is quite high and since I need an unchanging length
of the curtain line, I decided to go with double spun high tensile steel line used in bee frames.
What questions need to be resolved?
The main issues was with my code is I have to manually restart the system for it to loop the signal recived from the LDR.

What have I learned?
The Project has been an amazing Journey and I learned a lot. To list a few.
Programming of esp32 in arduino ide
1. Communication and interfacing of esp boards
2. Fabrication of the circuit boards
3. 3D printing and Parametric desiging
4. sensors and interfacing
