Anyone know what it is?

What is it in?



Garage door controller beam.


If it's just the IR thing wouldn't it be simple enough to scope it and
figure it out? I mean do they do anything with the IR signal beyond simple
modulation?


This is a pair I was going to hack, but they're Genie brand, and my
opener is Liftmaster.

So I ordered two pair of the Liftmaster variety, and will hack my
circuit to match the Liftmaster signal.

What is surprising is the lack of much in the way of patents...
proprietary ASIC's ???

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
