Electric Curtain Tie-Back Kit with Arduino Uno + Servo
Bring Mini Home Automation to Life with the Electric Curtain Tie-Back Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Have you ever wanted to automate a curtain without complex setups? This kit lets young makers build a working model of an electric curtain tie-back that rotates a fabric arm with a simple button press. Using an Arduino Uno and an SG90 servo, pressing one button swings the tie-back open, and another closes it — just like a miniature smart home device. It’s a playful, hands-on entry into home automation and robotics that connects coding to a visible, satisfying movement.
What You'll Build
By the end of this project, you’ll have a self-contained model curtain with a servo-powered tie-back mechanism. Two tactile buttons control the servo: one rotates it 90 degrees to hold the curtain fabric back, the other returns it to release the fabric. The entire circuit sits on a breadboard, and the movement is crisp and repeatable. It’s a proof-of-concept you can later scale to larger curtains or combine with sensors for automatic light-based control.
What You'll Learn
- How to program a servo motor to rotate to exact angles using the Arduino Servo library
- Reading tactile button inputs with pull-down resistors and debounce logic
- Assembling circuits on a breadboard without soldering
- Writing conditional code that responds to user input in real time

Who This Kit Is For
This starter kit fits naturally into ATL Tinkering Lab sessions, CBSE Class 5-8 science projects, and home STEM explorations. Young learners who can follow parental guidance will get their first taste of physical computing and servo mechanics. It also serves as a quick weekend build for parents introducing automation concepts without overwhelming complexity. If you’re preparing for a school exhibition or just want a satisfying maker-hour activity, this kit delivers.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to start a conversation with your AI companion, specific to this kit. It guides wiring placement, code logic, and troubleshooting. If you need human help, our WhatsApp support is a message away.
Do I need any prior coding experience?
Not at all. The included guide explains every line of the Arduino sketch, and you can copy-paste the ready-made code. Over time you’ll understand how it works and can modify button responses.
Can I control the curtain with a smartphone instead of buttons?
This kit uses physical buttons for direct, immediate control. Once you master the servo and Arduino, you can later add a Bluetooth module (like HC-05) and write an app—but that’s a great next-step project.
What kind of curtain can I use this with?
The project is a working model using lightweight fabric or ribbon. It demonstrates the principle; scaling to real curtains requires a stronger servo and mechanical design, which older makers often explore after this kit.
Button press rotates servo 90 degrees to tie back or release curtain fabric on a model.
