In this project, Milos converts a manual IKEA Trotten desk into a fully motorized standing desk using a 12V drill motor, quadrature encoder feedback and an ESP32 for control. The system includes soft-start motor driving, homing with limit switches, memory height presets and a built-in web interface for Wi-Fi access. All mounts are 3D printed, and the desk frame is expanded with modular aluminium extrusions for future upgrades. If you’re interested in ESP32 projects, desk automation or practical workshop builds, this shows how to build a programmable sit-stand desk on a modest budget.
