Project description
This project makes a crane with Arduino to lift small payloads from downstairs to upstairs.
Sketching Out the Basic Idea
The Wiring
The Payload
The Coding
I used Blynk for this project as I wanted to connect it with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant via IFTTT
Blynk App and IFTTT
Configuring the Blynk App
Now for the Blynk App, You can go ahead and create a new project, Add two buttons (One to change the state from 0 to 1 and another to change the state from 0 to 2 for the V1 pin) And you are set !
Connecting with IFTTT
Now go ahead and open https://ifttt.com/create and repeat steps 1-8 for the following situations-
- Applet for voice interaction with Alexa to send it up. (Enter value 1 instead of X for up)
- Applet for voice interaction with Alexa to send it down. (Enter value 2 for down)
- Applet for voice interaction with Google Assistant to send it up.(It is very similar to make applet for Assistant)
- Applet for voice interaction with Google Assistant to send it down.
