I have an electrical garage door closer which i8s activated by either a wireless remote control or a wired push button. I have built a unit using a PIC16F88 to measure the position of the door and transmit it back to my house (The garage is not visible from the house) This unit is mounted on the steel beam which carries the belt and track for moving the door. This works fine when I command the door by the push button but when I use the remote control the PIC resets. This only occurs when the unit is in its normal position on the beam. If I move it even an inch below the beam it doesn't happen. Even curiouser: if I hold the beam within a couple of feet of the unit it works properly. I don't want to spend what few years remain to me hanging onto a beam in my garage so any ideas? __________________________________________ David C Brown 43 Bings Road Whaley Bridge High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 Derbyshire eMail: [email protected] SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch*
