Hi,
I need to build a home automation controller, that need t be able to control an automated gate. In order to do so I need to be able to keep the gate open, without making any modifications to the opperation of the gate (automatic close, pedestrian entrances etc.)
Will it be possible to use the IR beam inputs to the motor controller to keep the gate open by means of a microcontroller? If so how do these beam kits work in terms of power supply and opperation logic, as I do not have access the the physical motor at this time.
The only technical manual that I have is a badly translated german, so I basically have poor pictures to go by. Any information would help a lot.
Cheers
