Hey Everyone,
I'm completely new to this forum, but looking forward to being apart of this community.
I'm no electrician, but i'm knowledgeable.... Somewhat haha.
Here's my project/task: I have a garage door opener that's used to open/close a secure gate. We use this garage door opener from a office which is roughly 50' away. This system works 40% of the time as we sit.... Most of the time we have to get up and walk towards the gate. Sometimes the difference of 5' could make the difference. This clicker is probably used 60+ times a day. My irrational side wants to connect a car battery to this thing and boost it's signal! Haha so what can I do? I've attached some pictures. I have no problem with soldering and playing around with this thing..... maybe there's something else I can buy with a better signal... Suggestions?
Thanks
