Python 2 Garage Door Opener

The Python 2 script below can be used to control a garage door opener via a Python-compatible microcontroller (such as a Raspberry Pi) connected to the opener's control terminals. The script uses the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) library to control the microcontroller's GPIO pins, and the time library to control the duration of the pulse sent to the opener.

To use the script, first connect the microcontroller to the opener's control terminals. Consult the opener's documentation for the specific terminals to which you need to connect. Once the microcontroller is connected, edit the script to specify the GPIO pins to which the control terminals are connected, as well as the duration of the pulse to send to the opener.

Once the script has been edited, save it and run it. The script will send a pulse to the opener, causing it to open or close the door. You can modify the script to add additional features, such as the ability to open or close the door remotely via a web interface or mobile app.

Here is the Python 2 script:

```python import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time # Set up the GPIO pins for the garage door opener GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT) # Set the duration of the pulse to send to the opener PULSE_DURATION = 1 # Send a pulse to the opener GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH) time.sleep(PULSE_DURATION) GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW) ```
