Great job! The only thing I would do differently, I would use a motorbike sprocket and a motorbike chain for longevity. Just cut the chain open, lay it straight and weld on the bottom where your rail is. With some grease that'll last longer than the aluminium rail. Thanks for the video!

Wow! Great job Sir. I even like the home made hand break (sheet metal bender ).

This is a very nice setup. Thanks for the idea.

Bravo! Ingenuity, patience, skill(s). Not to toot my own horn BUT, I once used a scooping implement to remove and relocate a section of terraforma to create what is called a "ditch".

Great job !!!!!! Very clean and smooth

That is a great setup. Thumbs UP!

Mate, that is epic.

Nice job, beautiful gate.

You did an awesome job on the gte opener. That is amazing. I have never built RF remote control board as you did for this. Is there anyway you could email me the instructions on how to assemble the board you made. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK MAN

Very nice man, when I will try to make my adaptation of this I will upload a video of the result. Cheap and efficient :)

I install gate motors professionally. Other than some safety protection you did a great job. I would also put in some position logic so you know where the gate position is, and an easy override should you loose power, slip clutch. Great job.

Hi, I like your project so much. I have some questions for you: - Is the motor self-locking? (can you open/close it easily by hand?) - why did you use a 4channel relay module? 2ch would be enough, wouldn't it? - how much does the gate weitgh? Thanks in advance for your answers

Love this!

Great job, I prefer a one button control board with limit set. Is that 2 limit swiths works well now?

Nice job !! I do same project now but loking for safety IR sensort( of course DIY) ... Any idea?

Awesome!

Hi can super idea . Can I use Your video to my compilation of best gates ideas on my channel ?

I'm thinking about doing a similar project but I wanna use ESP8266 or 32 instead of Arduino. Have you thought about including a current sensor (they are cheap) to know when the motor is consuming to much current and make a protection for the motor itself (overload) and for an object/person/animal which can be stopping the gate? Btw, nice job ;)

Is it possible to use gravity as force and get rid of motor and it's power costs?

Instead of using a rail, why didn't you use the bike chain. Bolt to gate at one end, and a tensioning thread at other end. We use them in Australia for commercial gates as you don't need to be so accurate about the rail meting the sprocket. The motor has two idle sprockets lower then the drive, chain goes under idle, up over drive then under second idle. As you said, you needed the springs as the gate lifted up. You don't with chains, and a lot of the gates are not perfectly straight, and a lot of the rails o he ground are not perfectly level. Chain doesn't care. Nice work. Keep it up.

@idiy8074

6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that was an option. I just didn't like the idea of having my chain hanging across the entire fence. More of a personal choice than anything. If I had a few bike chains, I'd probably rather welded them together on a single long bracket to get a rail. And, also, wanted to know if the rail that I can make for cheap will hold up, cause I had no idea :D

Hello! could you update the links to the ingredients? Thanks a lot.

Great build. FWIW i would change it to only use a single button for open, stop and close all you need to do is know the current and last state. also did you program any homing sequence to allow for if gate is manually opened and then powered on? Also i would add in an opto input to not allow closing while the beam is interrupted, but then that would probably make this a $65 build:)

@idiy8074

+Andrew Davis No homing option, but that is a good idea I just might implement. I went with a two button option so I can choose the direction of movement. You know when sometimes you close the gate halfway and then you realize you need to open it from whatever reason.... Or just if you want to play with it the entire afternoon because you can :D I said to myself a long time ago, no safety triggers on the gate. If something or someone gets in the line of movement, there's gonna be some damage! And suddenly when people know it's not gonna stop, they're really careful about it ;)

i had the same idea with the windshield motor, i was thinking to weld an old motor bike chain for the rail to open/close the door, but i stuck at the remote control, i don't know how to use arduino or to code ( i wont need anything fancy with the LED light) if anyone can help me with the parts that i need.
