Once motion is detected, the sensor sends a HIGH signal to the microcontroller, which can be used to trigger a response such as turning on an LED or activating an alarm. In this experiment, the PIR ...

The PIR sensor successfully detected motion and triggered the Arduino to turn ON the built-in LED. The LED remained OFF when no motion was present, confirming correct circuit and code functionality.

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

In the microcontroller era today, Arduino is more than just a tool to accomplish hobby tasks. There is actually a close relationship between microcontroller technology and home security, since you can ...

Abstract: In this paper, the Arduino based Intruder Detection System employing Rochelle Salt and Pyro-electric or Passive infrared (PIR) Sensor has been proposed. The proposed system employs Rochelle ...

Sometimes, projects start in somewhat unlikely places. This one began when [Istvan Raduly] scored a fake raven at a neighbor’s garage sale and decided to turn it into a thunder-and-lightning ...
