Today we were able to find a garage door motor that had the sensors we needed. After disassembling about half of the motor case, we wanted to test it and see if the motor and electronics worked. But beforehand we removed the wires that power the light and forgot to check that they weren't touching anything and one ended up shorting out on the metal base and fried the circuit board. Luckly we had a spare circuit board that would work with the motor. After we tested everything and made sure it all worked, we began to figure out how we were going to turn the pipe to move our spikes.
