Automatic Handsfree Garage Door Opener
Format
SOECS Senior Project Demonstration
Abstract/Artist Statement
The goal of this project is to design a “hands free” automatic garage door opener. The system authenticates a car using RF communication, then it opens the garage door when the car reaches a specified distance, which is measured using a transducer and ranging module. If the car is unauthorized, the system does not respond to the car. PIC Microprocessors are used to run both the control system and the remote transmitter located inside the car. These microprocessors communicate via ~400 MHz, amplitude shift key (ASK) modulated radio waves.
