Garage Door Opener...

I used to have electric gates at my place in SA.
I fixed a velcro pouch to the top yoke of my gixer so I could activate the gate as I turned into my street. Cheap and easy.
The garage was manual however

I'm keen to do this now I have power in my garage (woo-hoo!)

I think I may rig up a smoke machine and some strobes too. perhaps even some speakers to blast out The Flight of the Valkyries or something as it opens on my way out...

Like the idea of wiring the swich to the pass swtich...

i have an electric garage door (waits for the cries of admiration to subside) and its a pain with the bike as we only have two transmitters, ones on my car keys and ones in the house.

i was thinking of getting another one and somehow either fixing it to or into the bike.

mmmmm, wheres that big drill..

Most transmitters use a simple switch to ground so perhaps the best way to go would be to use a opto isolator with the collector connected to the switch on the transmitter the emitter to ground and the LED side connected to the pass switch via a current limiting resistor.

eeeeerrrrr.............

thats basically what i was gonna do,

although i was going to use a negative ion optimizer to cooptolate the frequency inhibitor at the primary diclergic stage, obviously id have to bypass the photoelographic copimpulator first...but this would be simple compared to setting up a sypathetic perapetetich relay to energise the photon torpedoes.

Oh you poor things you. It's sooo nice to ride up your street, tap your tank bag (where I keep the door remote) and roll up to the door as it opens for you. Ok, enough braging.
