Hello all ,I'm looking for some advice on how to make my yard gate automated ?
my hopes are I can control a Linier Actuator to open and close my gate by remote control .
Also I want to be able to stop/ start the gate and make it close or open say 20 seconds after I command it
( in a wheel chair and in the rain with a reactive dog ,it would be nice to time the opening of the gate) I'm sure this sounds kind of scattered
My skill level is low for programing ..I do have fair understanding of relays / switches
I have a 12 volt (2 wire) Linear Actuator with a stroke of 9" ,I can take care of the machanics its just
the automation
Thanks,Redz
google automated gate
see what people do.
I have , almost all the links are for selling the equipment, I have an actuator ,I have the brackets needed , I just don't have the control .I would like to be able to do this myself I don't know what
I need in a control
? remote sen
? trigger switch
?

type "automated gate" into the forum search window at the upper right.
if you need a control
I found this link by googling it.
looks like they have a lot of options
The basic code would be to receive a signal from the remote, activate the actuator until end stop reached. Then wait for say 20sec and reverse the actuator until end stop reached.
There are plenty of simple wireless remotes available very cheaply. They have a relay output that can be used as an input to the Arduino. They are low security so not for the front door!
Depending on motor current, a H bridge or relays can be used to control the actuator.

Change the name of the thread to driveway gate controller
go back to your first post and edit it. bottom right of post is the edit button.
change the name of the thread and never, in any list, ever, post a subject line of 'nubie' anything, ever again. it is the most worthless subject line possible.
You need to tell us what you have, give us links to the parts.
You need to tell us your skill level, in many, many cases, you can buy things cheaper than you can make them
many cases.
Please send me code for sliding gate with two push button. one button pressed gate should be closed while closing gate it should stop any button pressed. then other buton pressed it should be open.
Lol last post was in 2015... at least you searched.
People can not "give you code" for anything without you giving enough in information. For eample, this button pressing, ahat does it so, send a wireless message, activate a wired motor controler directly?
Have you tried to look into the code yourself? If so what have you done already?

This is a good place to get help for your project and code - not a good place to get someone to write the code and do the design for you unless you pay someone to write the code - see I think Gigs and something to find someone to write your code
‘give me code’...
please note the user parakrama is not the OP.
It looks like they’re a troll trying to hijack the thread.
