Description

I work in the Automated gate intallation/maitenance business and I often feel the need for a test GIG to automate the tests on repaired machines (sliding gate motors). This project aims to create a programmable remote controller for the 433.92Mhz "leaning code" technology, so that I can pre-program open-close cycles and leave the system testing itself for as long as I want (generally 20 open-close cycles an hour).

Details

Here is a video of the very first prototype. It already does exactly what I want it to do: turn the controller ON for 0.4 seconds and OFF for 5 seconds. It does that by allowing GND to pass for 0.4 seconds and VCC for 5 seconds (inverted logic).
