I was installing a seperate Wireless relay for the thing because the wireless it has sucks. Wires came loose and THEN I discoverered.... HEY these have NO POLARITY markings. Guess what did have polarity marked? A SPST switch.... Its a wonder they didn't fry it. Anyhoo, I finally hooked em back after getting sick and tired of the screw binding terminals I replaced them with Y'd out dupont females, and the LEDs on them just quasi-randomly flickered, both had same pattern. The button caused a jolt of movment and relay to bulb clicked a few times. (bulb burnt out).
I hear the voltage source to these eyes is 5.5V and medium held by a pull-up. The eyes will pull that down in a pulse in reponse to IR rx. Easy as pie with an Arduino. But how to maintain power?
Can you please post a copy of your circuit, in CAD or a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png?
Can you please post a picture of your project thanks?
If that's the case, then the model of Garage Door Opener makes a difference. Each manufacturer uses slightly different methods so replacing it with something other than the original equipment is frustrating. Consumer safety laws require the door obstruction detector to not be easily bypassed, so you aren't likely to be able to do it with a simple switch.
