round42 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Hoping someone has experience/success with automating a Blum servo-drive. It’s to open and close a cupboard door for the projector. I can’t find a driver, or any third party way of integrating it. Seems like it’s radio between its remote buttons and the drive itself, so I though about getting something like a fingerbot to press the button, but then need a way of integrating a fingerbot or equivalent to C4. Any ideas welcome! Surely I’m not the first or only to have this requirement?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 How do you activate it today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Can you find where the relay is on the actuator? You could wire directly to it and a relay on your controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanjackson Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I have done that before. took one of the remotes for it and wired to it to the controller. Have to replace the batteries every year or so in the remote. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
round42 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Sounds promising… I hadn’t thought of that. Was it very difficult? Can you share any further detail? After opening it up, do you think it would be easy enough to hardwire a power supply to replace the battery too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanjackson Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Ya it is pretty easy. Just take a wire and find teh leads that go to the button (think there are 4) then. connect two leads together till the motor moves. Then solder your wires to that to a relay on the controller. Ya, havent got to the power supply to replace the battery yet, but pretty sure it is a 3v battery. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
round42 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Excellent. Thanks Ryan! I’ll order an additional button (they’re super easy to pair). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
