Im interested in using the available spot on the toggle panel.
To install a push button START, found installation plans for a garage opener in its place.
Does anyone have any ideas

Thanks
Sonnie :smile:

Here's how I did a garage door opener.

(I think you may have seen this.)

I certainly can help do a "Start" switch if you need it.

Trippy,

The garage door opener is a great idea. How did you wire in the actual opener to the wires that ran to the switch? I am very interested in giving this a go on my mini

I added a 2-pin plug and jack I got at Radio Shack.

Then I took apart the garage door opener and soldered on
two wires right across the switch and plugged it in.

Any old 2-pin plug and jack will do since it's very low
voltage and current. a mono 1/8 Inch headphone jack will work fine.

If you would like more precise instructions, just holler.

If you (or anyone else) gets near Minneapolis MN, drop by
and we'll do it together.

Gee, that's almost worth a road trip!
