Shade Overview

This is an overview of both the motor, and the control module.
Shade Module

The module includes 2 relays and 3 opto isolators. The opto isolators accept a 5volt DC input and are made especially for interfacing with a PC. The left-most isolator is a power shut off circuit (originally used to disable power on bootup), the middle one is to go down and the right one is to go up. The relays operate on 12volts DC and are each controlled by an opto isolator, the left relay relay is to disable the power and the right is to change directions.
Shade Motor

The motor uses a gear ratio to create strength and operates on 12volts DC. I'm not exactly sure where I got this motor from.
