Got a little Project

[SKY]

Got a little project:

Got a customer who's wife keeps hitting the back wall of the garage whilst reversing the car in.
the old tennis ball trick does not stop her from hitting the back wall.

Now my project is to get a beam sensor looking across the garage (bumper height) when the beam is broken there will be a light in front of her on a wall as the car is reversing (beam broken) the light will flash and as soon as the car has cleared the garage door the light with go solid.

Some of the jobs we get!!!

Gonna start looking around for 230v sensors so that I have not got to bother with trannys.

this post is incredible, a woman who can drive a car?

I think my ex wife would take exception to that. 18 write off’s all down to me! Thankfully 14 of them were works vehicles on private roads. When we divorced she had to get her own insurance, the broker gave her 7 years no claims. I’d only got 3 at that point!
Pity she wrote the car off in 4 months <snigger>

Maybe look for a large solenoid approx a foot in length you can duct tape a boxing glove onto the plunger and mount it level with the the driversside window....

You need to branch out into the world of invention mate..

Suggestions:

1. Bolt a length of timber (eg 4x2) to floor, positioned for her rear wheels to stop against.

Cheaper and easier!

Tie a balloon to the wall of the garge and glue a 6 inch nail to her bumper, when she hears the bang she stops.
