sasha_ca_ru Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hi all,I would like to make Garage door status indicator. I know it is easy to make it with wires. However I would like to build wireless system. Do you guys have circuits for this type of project. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yevgenip Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 What do you mean, no wires? If you want the circuit not to have any wires at all, that is a bit impossible.Please make yourself clearer.Yevgeni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha_ca_ru Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 I ment to have wireless system between garage door sensor and indicator that will be mounted inside the house. I.e. When garage door is open, LED inside the house will be ON.When garage door is closed, LED inside the house will be OFF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Do you really need to use a transmitter/ wireless :-\. It would be very simple to set up, if you used wires :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha_ca_ru Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Well, I would like to use wireless system because I don't know how to run wires :)However, if you have simple solution to the problem, I may change my mind. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Here is something to have a look at. I am sure a simpler setup can be found :).k82.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha_ca_ru Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Ohh! This is a preassembled kit. I wanted to do something my self. Thanks anyway!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 sasha, I think they are kidding with you a bit. Please look in our projects section for wireless circuits. There are some in there. At the top of the page is a link to the projects section. If these are not what you are looking for, try the web with key words Infrared transciever or IR transciever.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yevgenip Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 All right then, you can use a simple radio transmitter/reciver mechanism (I don't have one, am posting for one myself).Or use infrared interface.Really, check out the projects section, there are tons of IR.

surajbarkale Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Here is a project http://users.cableaz.com/~cappels/dproj/LCRFLINK/LCRFLINK.htm. You can remove the microcontrollers and put a switch at i/p & LED at o/p and you can get what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Sasha,Remember if you go for IR (infra red) there must be a clear path between transmitter and receiver (no obstacles) for it to work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yevgenip Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 like a car for instance. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Yea, or a wise ass! ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha_ca_ru Posted November 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Thanks guys!!!Well, first of all, there is no clear path between transmitter and receiver, like a car or wise ass ;DI think I will go with wires then. What do I need to make a hole in the wall? ??? Kidding... So I will have to make some kind of a switch and blinking circuit inside the house... I will post some ideas later on, please check it out, ok? :-\ Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB2K3 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 It looks like everyone forgot to ask one simple question.The the motor unit have relay contacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 AJ,I don't see why this is an important question in regards to the original post, but I am sure sasha would appreciate any good advice that you would like to add regarding the use of relays.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha_ca_ru Posted December 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yes don't be shy to share your ideas. Thank you all! :-* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRE Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I personally would recommend against a switch dependant on the garage door opener's operation. I would recomment placing something along the lines of 6" to 12" of strip magnet on the door and a reed switch on the inside frame. This way if someone were to pull the release and open the door bypassing the opener you would still know the actual state of the door.I've worked on similar issues before where a keypad was placed outside to open the garage without key or remote and if for any reason they got out of sync you'd end up having to type in your code to close the door but pressing one button would open it...
