    Re: Lift Master garage door opener with WiFi capability application through your phon

    Somewhat OT:
    Capitalism has a big problem letting corporations do as they please. Profiteering, price fixing, collecting and sharing user's private data - it's terrible.
    The dollars kicked back in campaign donations (i.e. FTX) to get the government to look the other way. So there's no enforcement, no legislation and the big party continues. Unless you're trying to visit a restaraunt in Hamilton lol. He's going to get pie'd soon.

    I'm reminded of the "google barges" floating data centers which of course were to circumvent data laws, changing things to over marine laws with no privacy regulations meanwhile all the dumb people think it's about the boat.

    Should Chamberlain Group and other IoT products protect user's private data? The answer is obvious but corporations are on a power trip.

    So I like china now, at least their government is straightforward - you have zero privacy. They have the iron fist corps must abide by. They can pave a road, put in a pipeline, squash a scam in the blink of an eye. Although I was reading a ccp defector's paper and they said the government is more mafia, corruption is still a massive problem. So no difference really.

    Now with inflation, we have interest rates getting jacked up and the average person is simply forking out more cash to the banks. How this is supposed to work other than making the masses poorer and the rich richer, seems like a bad idea.

      Can't have it both ways so suck it up whichever way it goes?

        yepp, thats quite unfortunate to have to just suck it but thats just the way we designed our economy and society to work, too bad. its all just a zero sum gain. your loss is someone else's gain; i have to screw others to make my money as a company etc. thats why there are those who refuse to be a part of the system, even an entire country like bhutan who refuse to be part of the system. their country focuses on the gross personal happiness of the individual and the gross national happiness of the country as a whole, not how much you contribute to the country's gross national product. smart people who opt out of the rat race? u bet!

          STJ;

          That’s not quite how things work here. The Police / RCMP has a contract with each city, town or municipality. So this policing money comes from property taxes.

            Linear Garage Door Opener Control board took a crap install a new control board back normal

            I have been having issues with this garage door opener for a while first the range of the remote was a lot less and sometimes it would start to go down and stop for no reason that I could find and would every once in awhile to start with then it started going more frequently until last Saturday when I opened the garage door it refused to close so I cranked up force all the way maximum limit this did not work also the sensor on one side that has a green and red lights that are supposed to be on when the door is open and there are no obstacles in the way on the original board the only light that...

            Linear Garage Door Opener Control Board Repair weak capacitors
            by sam_sam_sam
            I was having issues with the controller not always responding to remote control signal having to hold button until garage door started to move

            Now after replacing the two capacitors on the two 5 volt power supply rails

            One is used for the up/down limit up/down force circuits

            Second one is used for the radio receiver circuit

            The main filtering capacitor ESR value was a little higher than a new one

            Garage door opener-safety cutout faulty
            by Cornboats
            I have vintage Slavedor garage door opener that has stopped closing the door. If I disable the up/down current control to the motor it works fine. I've attached the larger control board which is for everything and the smaller current control board.
            Normally the current control is set slightly above the maximum current normally used. If the door exceeds this it should stop and reverse when closing or just stop when opening. Can someone please explain how the current control board works so that I can try and repair or replace the defective parts.
            I see my self as an interested novice...

            Garage door module Nice SNA4/A - burnt component
            by jm1234
            Hi,
            I'm trying to guess what component got burnt on the control board for my Nice garage door motor Nice SNA4/A. You can see it in front of the 2 capacitors. The component is connected across the 36V rectified input wires, maybe it was some kind of protection device?
            All the pictures I could find were of the whole product, so enclosed in the plastic box, eg. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123998876212
            Any help appreciated.

            Remote garage door opener - not working
            by caphair
            I have two of these and used the working one to do a comparison measurement. Oddly everything seems to be identical in value when measured. I even did a diode mode measurement (+ probe on - battery terminal) of all components and the ic. The values are the same between the two.

            Only difference I’ve noticed is as follows:

            Working one:
            12v on C of NPN transistor
            Press button
            0v on both B and E

            Bad one:
            12v on C of NPN
            Press button
            1.5v on B
            1.1v on C

            But the transistor measures good and has same...
