|  gate opener??
since most of you seem to be good with electronics & stuff i figured i would ask if anybody knew how to make a gate opener controller. i am building an automatic opening gate but cant figure out the electronics part. i have seen some good links to other websites so if you got one let me have it will ya!! i am using a 12v ram with 12" stroke!!< so, any ideas?? i will mount a switch at entrance & another inside fence. i would like a timer also so once my truck is in, the gate would close! can it be done?? thanks for any help. |

thanx for the link. i am kinda goin for the really low budget homemade device though. under 50 or 60 bucks. maybe use some 3 way switches or run it off my computer. i dont know if it can be done, but i was thinking maybey the remote 110v thing i have seen for like $20 hooked to a transformer with some gate activated switches. or a computer hookup with a program to auto close after 15 seconds or something. i think it would work & that i could build it if i had an idea on how to make it. |
