Hey. Im nearly done making this. Loved it, thanks for the ideas on the limit switchers. Im struggling with the motor. My motor seems to un-do itself under the weight of the door when my power is off to the motor. I used a regular high torque motor. Do I need a stepper motor or a gearbox...

hi there. Is this motor you used ok? I have used a regular high torque 12v dc motor, my code etc works fine until I attach the door....... the door drags itself down because of the weight. Will your motor prevent that? or should I use a gearbox reduced motor or a stepper? cheers
