Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors are electronic devices that detect motion by sensing infrared radiation emitted by objects. Every object with a temperature above absolute zero emits infrared radiation.

The PIR motion sensor consists of 3 pins-VCC, GND, and the Data Output Pin. VCC is the power pin of the module. Out is the data Output pin of the module.it goes high when motion is detected. GND is ...

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 ...

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 ...

You must have seen automatic door openers in shopping malls and other commercial buildings. They open the door when someone comes near the entrance and close it after sometime. A number of ...
