The Raspberry Pi has been setup to connect wirelessly to the network, where a web interface can be accessed which sends commands to a ‘controller’ script. There are two aspects to the build, the blind opener and airconditioning control. The easystepper motor driver is interfaced to an old stepper motor which drives the blinds. The step pulses are sent using the GPIO library. The LIRC library was used to record and send infrared information to control the air conditioning. The information had to be recorded in RAW mode, as the information length was longer than normal.
