Gate Remote Hacker modifications?

[Clyd3]

Hi all,
I've been interested in this gate remote hacker for quite some time, but it seems to work with gate remotes that have a 10 switch DIP thing, but all of ours here in South Africa seem to be 12 switch DIP switches, what must I change? Must I use a 14 stage binary counter?

Here is the plan:
Parts
Resistors
R1 - PC mount 100k potentiometer
R2 - 1k ohm 1/4 watt

Capacitors
C1 - 22MFD
Integrated Circuits
IC1 - 555CP Timer
IC2 - CD4040BE 12 stage binary counter

Misc
LED1 - 10 Light Emitting Diodes
S1 - Normally Closed Momentary Push Button Switch
Perfboard
9V Battery

Schematic as attachment...

Knowledge

Of all the things you guys know, I definitely know that you know about binary counters, so hows some help? Please....

What do you want to know about binary counters?

YOU WANT TO HELP ME :roll: (MIND CONTROL)

I really need to know how I could turn on and off 12 DIP switches, in rapid succession (combination of numbers), but the circuit only works for 10 switches... please help, I am a good guy...

so that is what I need to know about using binay counters...
And does anyone know where I can get additional info on these little things, as they seem to have potential for a great number of projects...

Hi:

The CD4040 is already a 12-stage ripple counter. If 12 outputs are all you need, then just add a couple of diodes (in a similar fashion to the rest) to pins 15, and 1 respectively.

Just note that there is no guarantee that it will work on all (or any) garage door openers, as some use rolling codes.
