TillEulenspiegel thanks a million!! You just saved me so much time and money I really thank you! I want to get this gate up and running for security, we have had a lot of unwanted visitors. As well as learn new things.
Now I just have to figure out your schmatic haha I kinda got the jist of it. I have the motor that was bought for the gate so I better put it to use and also the garage door motors are less then 1hp from what I found.
Im working on the relay to motor and a way to stop the gate once its opened so far so it dosent over swing almost like a switch on a spring but thats kinda hokey. It will be belt driven incase something goes wrong and then it will slide on the pulleys and maybe a way to have a circuit that senses too much pull and shuts off like a saftey. Lastley looking at a saftey sensor for objects between the gates. All in all I really want to learn how this all works and at the same time save me two grand haha.
Thanks again TillEulenspiegel!
