DIY virgin | Auto window roller blind help. Hey all, needing help trying to modify my chain roller blind to an automatic remote controlled one using arduinos and a motor. In the planning process, but don't really know how much torque (don't know shit all) I'll be needing to get the blind back up from its weight. This is my first DIY project and trynna get this done on my own but dont want to buy a motor and have it not be strong enough.

Shit at least give us a number, how heavy is the blind? No info, no advice, we are not your google assistant

Using a luggage weight from top center of blind extended , read about 2kg but with consideration of anything above the weight I'd say about 2.3kg needs to be lifted.

So try typing into google literally "what motor torque will lift 3 kg" and post results

Thanks for this, according to some calculations I'm looking for a motor with a rated torque of around 500-600mNm. This isn't far-fetched to you?
