Problem Statement
General Background:
Auto-Closing Garage Door System Convenience for homeowner Home security
Technical Issues:
Remote transmitting State of the Garage Door Signal Processing Operation of Garage Door Opener External Lighting Circuit
Operating Environment
Located Inside Garage Operational at (–) 40 to 120 Degrees Fahrenheit Conditions Used with Chain or Screw Drive Openers Residential Systems Only Two-Door Garages
Intended Users/Uses
Intended Users:
Home Owners Family or Neighbors
Intended Uses:
Automatic Closure of the Garage Door ON/OFF Capabilities NOT intended for Commercial or Industrial Use
Assumptions and Limitations
Assumptions:
Installed on Residential Grade Openers Only Power Source Maintained by the End User Obstruction Sensors Previously Installed
Limitations:
Door Opener must have external contacts Maximum of Two Garage Doors
End Product Description
Features:
Rail-type Residential Grade Garage Door Systems Adjustable timer for Automatic Closure Two Garage Door Operation Override mode for leaving door open without timer Can be retrofitted for state-controlled openers
What Has Been Done?
Accomplishments:
Defined the Problem Determined the Technical Design Located and Received all Parts Finished all Necessary Documentation Implementation of the Design Testing Final Documentation Oral Presentation to Industrial Review Panel
Possible Approaches
Building a Transmitter/Receiver from scratch vs. Buying a Fabricated Unit Building a “Hard-Wired” Logic Circuit vs. Signal Processing Different Types of Sensors for Input
Pressure Pad for Tire Contact Limit Switches Magnetic Switches IR (Obstruction) Sensor Light Sensor
Using Openers with Exterior Contacts vs. Determining the Internal Circuitry
Solution Approach
Scenarios:
Leaving Garage Returning Home Desire to have the Garage Door Open
Sensing:
Contact Switches Light Sensors
Final Project Definition
Functionality:
Operative in any environment Timers
Switched to Motorola F1HC11 Board that was used in Cpr E 211. Part Built into Genie Systems. Changed to Contact Limit Switch. Eliminate Obstruction Sensor as input to SGDS because of FCC Regulation in 1993.
Important Part of Magnetic Sensors Missing
Obstruction Sensors Not Compatible with Door Opener
Testing and Modifications
Testing:
SGDS Broken into 7 Different Individual Tests Tested as whole afterwards
Test 1 – Transmitter and Receiver:
Apply Power, Measure Output at Relay
Test 2 – Momentary Push Buttons:
Figure out Wiring Scheme
Test 3 – Relays:
Apply 5V to Coil and use Ohmmeter to test the resistance between NO and the Com terminals
…Testing and Modifications
Test 4 – Garage Door Opener:
Power Opener and Determine Terminal Functionality
Test 5 – Light Detection Circuit:
Build Circuit from Schematic and test with a flashlight to see if the Voltage Signal disappears when incandescent light is visible.
Test 6 – Contact Limit Switch:
Wire a series circuit and make sure the NO circuit changes to closed the the contact is closed.
Test 7 – Micro-Controller:
Download the program to the hardware, send in input signals with a source to different pins and check the output for a signal.
