    Good evening, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful work and for your explanations. I purchased the product from Aliexpress, but i can't understand how the motor works (i've got different components from those shown by you: motor, battery and Lego version Bluetooth speaker). I would like to ask you: -does the engine need the application to work? If yes, which one? ( Because it cannot work and i dunno how to make It work) -In your opinion, are the components listed above sufficient or do we need a sort of sensor or switcher to operate the system? Thank you so much for your help!!!

    • @treetopspider
      @treetopspider 28 днів тому

      Chinese instructions are difficult to understand as they are not written in correct English. Two things I remember are, for the motor to fit in, I had to leave out a section of the build. For the motor to work, an app is needed to connect your phone to the piano. I had a little card with a QR which when scanned, it led me to the app. I did struggle with this app and it didnt always work properly. I contacted the sellers via AliExpress and they were quite helpful. I would suggest you also contact them and explain the problem. They are a little slow getting back to you but they will respond. Sorry I couldnt help you anymore than that

    Guys, huge THANK YOU because I’m faced with the same problem (even heavier bath, 173kg.) AND a turn at the end of my stairs but I do believe I can copy this idea. My bath is Solid Surface material and by the looks and sounds of yours that one is too. You guys mention something that you put under the bath on top of the planks to protect the bath but I don’t know the word (I’m Dutch), what did you use?

    • @treetopspider
      @treetopspider Місяць тому

      This was so long ago that I had to rewatch the video. Its actually quite badly edited. I'm a bit better nowadays. We used dust sheets between the planks and the bottom of the bath. Basically, and large piece of cloth to minimise the friction as it was being dragged up the stairs

Yeah it’s 4 years old but I didn’t mind the editingat all , loved the “This was the easy part” and “This is such a good idea!” 😂👍🏼 but most of all, this is the only good idea could find to solve this kind of problem. I have thin gypsum inner walls (house from 1996) and I’m not so convinced they would hold but I can put the winch to the outside of my home or actually mount it temporarily to the concrete 2nd floor. I’m still in doubt though. I don’t own a winch but they are cheap enough and maybe someone has one I can borrow.
