Automated Solar Powered Horizontal Blind Controller

I started this project because we have some horizontal blinds located in a high window over the main door to our house. This window faces south, and here in Colorado, that means LOTS of sunshine.

Another consideration was the blinds needed to shut at night to provide more privacy in the upper level.”
