TK has combined a PIR with an Arduino to create a smart safety light for the house or workshop. Follow along as this gets built out into a more extensive project.

As indicated, our system requires a “Logic High (H)” level input to wake up. The best sensor you can use to detect an intrusion is the Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor. The PIR Sensor detects the motion ...

Using motion detectors and an Ardunio you can add a little extra wow to your Halloween displays this year. This article covers the circuits and the code to make that happen.

What he came up with is a light-sensitive motion sensor that uses very little power. He knew that an Arduino would be overkill, and decided to try his hand at using the Arduino to develop code for ...

All you need is an Arduino, a motion sensor, a few wires and headers, and the code provided at the site below. Hit the link to see step-by-step instructions on how to put it together.

While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

Anyone searching for an Arduino project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new motion activated wildlife camera constructed using the Adafruit Feather M0 development board.
