Hello, welcome to the turbomansion repository.

The name

First let's start with the name - turbomansion. The word comes from a few places in pop culture history but for me it got stuck in my head because of the legendary looter-shooter video game series - Borderlands, made by 2K and Gearbox. "Turbomansion" is mentioned in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel during mission "Lost Legion Invasion" as seen in this video.

The idea

Main goal of this project is to create a fully open source smart home units library. Of course nothing is perfect and so is this project, some things may deviate from the ultimate goal and some compromises will be made but I will be happy and I hope anyone who reads this would feel the same if the project does not deviate too far from these values:

  • Open source documentation, plans, files, code, etc.
  • Easily obtainable materials all over the world
  • Low cost and low effort
  • Ease of deployment
  • Ease of use
  • Ease of maintenance and repair
  • Customizability
  • No proprietary bullshit
  • No manufacturer cloud connectivity (unless you want to (trust me - you don't))
  • Complete control with Home Assistant

    1) Along with using with TMC2209 motor drivers, I have removed R8, R15, R16, R17, R18, R19 because the R value was accidentally too high. I have shorted R8, R16, R17, and left open R15, R18, R19.

Questions

How big is the Roller blind controller PCB?

It measures 24.5 × 49.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Roller blind controller use?

6 parts, built around the TMC2209SILENTSTEPSTICK. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Roller blind controller KiCad files?

From the ItsRebaseTime/turbomansion repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is units/roller_blinds/roller_blind_controller/roller_blind_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic units/roller_blinds/roller_blind_controller/roller_blind_controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Roller blind controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
