Nice job :thumbup: Did mine a few yrs. ago, and works great :yes: but two wks. ago, the main drive gear in the opener, went south :banghead: Now I need to install a new opener, plus the one on the Spyder :roflblack:
PS....got my button from radio shack.

Do you happen to have a part number?

Looks great one stupid question

Great idea! Not being very good at elec. controls and printed circuit boards how did you know where to solder the wires? or is obvious when you take apart the opener? Thanks for sharing

 

[shooter]

Look at the picture of the board, will always be the last lugs on the circuit on that button. I've done this on a Genie opener as well, same principle.

Iv'e got one of these, very reliable:

 

[JCSMOKE]

Any momentary switch will do, I have a chrome one on my bike. Google momentary switch and look at the images to see the options available.

I would assume you are using a solid wire? what gauge?

I would assume you are using a solid wire? what gauge?

You would be better off by using stranded wire, because of the vibration. 16 or 18 guage would work fine.

Opener

Does the momentary button close the door or just open the door .
currious / my remote has a open button and separate close button

Opens and closes.
