Hi there,
I am thinking of purchasing a netduino plus 2, with the aim of refreshing my old A-level electronics knowledge. I am an average C# coder, so that side of things is fine, but my electronics knowledge is rather rusty, and so before I buy, I would like to know if there are tutorials that can help me with my first project idea.
I have a blind on my window instead of curtains, but in front of it, I have desk and TV etc, so it's rather difficult to get to. My idea is to have a netduino on the window-sill connected to a motor, which would connect to the blind string. Could I then, using a simple c# application, control the motor to open and close the blind? I would like to make this a web app, so I could control it via my android phone, and as an extension to the project, possibly have it automatically open the blind at say 7am and close it at 9pm.
Any advice as to the feasability, and then tutorials for controling a small motor would be appricated.
Thanks
