• Two working modes: summer (if light level is high blinds are down) and winter (the opposite).
• Ambience light should be measured each 1 sec. ~ 10 sec. using the light sensor (it is not necessary to make this parameter configurable).
• User button will be used to change between working modes.
• Consider a levelling up and down time of ~30 sec. Consider the use of a threshold for the ambience light measure.
• The states of the system are the following: Blinds states: raised, down, rising, lowering. Working mode: summer and winter.
• The system states should be informed by using LEDs or serial (received in the PC) and updated each 2 sec.
• Minimal operation: to be able to measure the ambience light and change between blinds states
• Use of threads
• The use of the serial instead - or jointly - of LEDs will be considered as an extra.
