Time for a new Project, DIY Garage Door Opener Options

[freddy121389]

I found myself trying to find another simple yet very meaningful project for the celica when I came across an idea for a diy garage door opener that wires up to the batter while i was trying to open my damn garage door with the pos battery one in my car in 0 degree weather. I'll be following the guide of this DIY Garage Door Opener. I'll be sure to keep you all informed of how it all goes. I'm also going to throw a twist on the button that I think you'll all find very enjoyable . I'm still in the process of measuring things out and finding the right parts. I should be done with it in the next 2weeks -1month depending on when the parts get in and when I have time to work on it.

It sounds like you've wired the switch sensor on the board to the LED circuit in the button, as opposed to wiring it to the switch circuit in the button.

However, that's based upon my having to interpret your post as your sentence structure and grammar make (or lack thereof) makes for an unclear post.

If you're saying the button you purchased has only the one circuit, then that makes sense if it's an interrupt -- as in pressing the button interrupts the circuit. Rather like the button on your car doors, whereby closing the door cuts off the power to the interior lights.

As for njccmd2002's post, he's pointing out that the power you're drawing off the cigarette lighter wiring is adjusted by the dimmer switch. It's the power to the wiring that is affected, which is what you've accessed.
