Modified Stepper Motor Cavity and Adjusted Other Tolerances
I already made a decent bit of this before this, but Lapse didn’t publish it properly so this is now my first devlog.
This entire project is supposed to be a replacement for a basic macropad that I have to control my room lights. I recently started using home assistant to control my lights, and with it I started experimenting with presets. I ended up with 6 presets for my room, ranging from totally off to maxxed out. This dial uses magnets to create indents between each preset, and uses a hall effect sensor to detect its position. ESP-Home then uses that position to report a number from 1-6 to home assistant, which a home assistant automation then uses to activate a specific preset.
Currently, I am trying to add space for a stepper motor and driver, in order to position the dial depending on what preset is currently active, as I am planning to have multiple of these across my room and also to be able to still control lights over the home assistant ui.
I know this is an overly complicated setup, but I like complicated things.
