Table of contents

I am still finding Wind Shield wiper motor from near by scrap yard for automatic window opening and closing.

I have managed for exhaust fan from local scrapyard (230V 60Watt) and I will simply use relay switch for control this fan.

 

Still I am waiting for basic kits for this challenge, I have compiled and sent spreadsheet of components for my design to Element14.

 

Here is this spread sheet...

    Ravi Frustrating .. but at least it is forward. You may wish to detail some of the tasks that don't require the parts. ie the mechanism you will need to open the window, the distance, method the motor…

    I've definitely been in that situation, not fun at all. But I did see recently that your parts arrived. Good Luck.

    I agree. Keep going Ravi!

    I am in a similar situation - my BBB arrived yesterday and I'm yet to receive LaunchPads and Inductor kits.

    But I also spent time on parts of my project that can be done without these boards like writing software that can be tested on RPi and working on overall design.

    Don't give up image

     

    There's still something like 13 weeks to go! I like how you already searched for alternatives and used RPi instead of BBB until it arrives, instead of just waiting.

     

    Keep going!
