#PIR Motion Sensor with Arduino

[arduino-diy]

Proximity sensing is a very common application in electronics. There are several ways to accomplish this. The most common way is by using a PIR sensor. PIR Sensor senses the change in ambient infrared radiation caused by warm bodies. I have already covered this in my Tutorial No. 5: "PIR Sensor Tutorial - With or Without Arduino". However, since PIR sensors detect movement from living objects, they can generate false alarms. These sensors are also inefficient in hot environments, as they rely on heat signatures.

The other common methods of proximity sensing involve, using reflected ultrasonic or light beams. Using these sensors, the intruding object is detected by the reflected beam back to its source. The time delay between transmission and reception is measured to calculate the distance to the object. In this tutorial, we are going to look at another method of proximity sensing using "Microwaves" and "Doppler Effect".  In my hand is an inexpensive RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Motion Sensor. The RCWL-0516 microwave sensor detects "any movement" from "any object" and does not rely on heat, making it more reliable in hot environments. I am going to use this sensor to create a Geo-fence around my house to detect motion and get notifications.

Building Enclosures

Title:

PIR Shield

Introduction:

For my midterm physical computing project, I used a PIR motion sensor to detect movement. The purpose of the sensor was to sense motion and trigger a response for a video game utilizing two sensors to complete the task. To protect the sensor and keep the wiring organized, I built a custom enclosure. Creating an enclosure was important not only for protecting the components from physical damage but also for improving the overall appearance and functionality of the project.

Enclosure Design:

I made the enclosure using blue acrylic in the innovation lab for visibility and sensor exposure. The enclosure includes specific openings for the PIR sensor itself, as well as for wires and USB cables connected to the Arduino. I chose this materials because they were easily available and easy to work with using basic tools, also because it held together with super glue/wood glue. The design ensures that the sensor is securely held in place while still allowing it to accurately detect motion.

Construction Process:

To build the enclosure, I first measured the size of the PIR sensor and the necessary space for wiring. I then cut out a prototype box shape from paper and carefully cut holes for the sensor, wires, and any ventilation if needed. After folding and assembling the box, I taped the edges to form a sturdy structure. After I assembled it, I used the measurements from the prototype to create clean cuts from the acrylic using the laser cutter. One of the challenges I faced was aligning the sensor opening perfectly so it would not block the sensor’s field of view. I overcame this by first testing the sensor placement on a temporary prototype, then transferring the measurements to the final enclosure. I mounted the PIR sensor inside the box by securing it near the front opening using hot glue and a support bracket made from extra cardboard. I made sure the sensor faced outward with no obstructions and enough clearance to detect motion effectively.

Shelly Plus #4: PIR Sensor am AddOn

In diesem Beitrag möchte ich dir zeigen, wie du einen PIR Sensor an das Shelly Plus AddOn anschließt und das Signal zur Steuerung des Relais verwenden kannst.

Shelly Plus #4: PIR Sensor am AddOn Es gibt mit dem Shelly Motion 2 bereits eine fertige Lösung. Jedoch ist diese für mich viel zu langweilig und daher möchte ich diese Schaltung selber aufbauen und dir hier präsentieren. An das Shelly Plus AddOn kannst du viele Sensoren anschließen und auswerten, welche für Arduino & Raspberry Pi gedacht sind. Diese sind teilweise nicht so hochwertig und auch manchmal sehr kurzlebig, aber zum ein wenig Herumspielen sind diese voll okay.

Das Shelly Plus AddOn habe ich dir bereits in den nachfolgenden Beiträgen vorgestellt: - Shelly Plus #2: Shelly Plus AddOn - Shelly Plus #3: Regensensor am AddOn

Benötigte Ressourcen für dieses Projekt

Wenn du dieses kleine Beispiel nachbauen möchtest, dann benötigst du: - einen Shelly Plus 1*, - ein Shelly Plus AddOn*, - einen PIR Sensor*, - drei Breadboardkabel*, männlich-weiblich, 20 cm - eine Zuleitung für den Shelly Plus 1** Hinweis von mir: Die mit einem Sternchen (*) markierten Links sind Affiliate-Links. Wenn du über diese Links einkaufst, erhalte ich eine kleine Provision, die dazu beiträgt, diesen Blog zu unterstützen. Der Preis für dich bleibt dabei unverändert. Vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung! ** Die Zuleitung für den Shelly bekommst du im örtlichen Baumarkt als Meterware und ebenso einen passenden Stecker. Ich empfehle dir noch zusätzlich 3 Aderendhülsen aufzusetzen, damit die feinen Adern von den Schraubklemmen nicht zerquetscht werden.

Aufbau der Schaltung

Durch den Shelly AddOn ist der Aufbau der Schaltung recht easy, denn dieser ist auf dem Gehäuse sehr gut beschrieben.

Den PIR Sensor gibt es in (mir bisher bekannten) zwei Varianten, beiden ist jedoch gleich das diese über 5 V betrieben werden und einen digitalen Ausgang haben.

PIR Sensoren im Vergleich Ich verwende in diesem Beitrag den PIR Sensor HC-SR501*. Dieser Sensor verfügt über zwei kleine Drehpotentiometer, an welchen man die Empfindlichkeit regeln kann.

Anschluss des PIR Sensors an das Shelly Plus AddOn

Wie erwähnt und auf den Bildern zu sehen besitzt der PIR Sensor 3 Pins, VCC, OUT& GND. Welche wie folgt an das Shelly Plus AddOn angeschlossen werden.

PIR Sensor HC-SR501 am Shelly Plus AddOn Im nachfolgenden YouTube-Video zeige ich dir kurz, wie du diesen anschließen und in der Shelly App einrichten kannst. https://youtu.be/yO2VfprW0N4 Im letzten Beitrag zum Regensensor Modul habe ich bereits zwei Szenen erstellt, welche mit einem digitalen Signal 0/1 oder HIGH/LOW arbeitet und somit für diesen Beitrag wiederverwendet werden können. Wenn wir eine Lampe damit steuern möchten, können wir zusätzlich noch eine Verzögerung einbauen, sodass wir zum Verlassen des Bereiches noch etwas mehr Licht & Zeit haben. Read the full article

A Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor detects infrared radiation emitted by objects, especially humans. The sensor outputs a digital signal (HIGH or LOW) depending on whether it senses motion. It’s called "passive" because it doesn’t emit any energy; it just senses the infrared rays from the surrounding environment.

How PIR Sensors Work:

The PIR sensor consists of two key components:

Pyroelectric sensor: Detects infrared radiation.

Fresnel lens: Focuses the IR signals on the pyroelectric sensor. When a warm body (like a human) moves across the sensor’s field of view, the infrared radiation changes, and the sensor detects this change, sending a HIGH signal.

Components Required:

Arduino (e.g., Uno, Nano, or Mega)

PIR Sensor

Jumper Wires

Breadboard

LED (for visual feedback)

220Ω Resistor (for the LED)

Circuit Diagram:

sql

Copy code

[Insert a simple diagram showing the connections between Arduino, PIR sensor, and LED]

Connections:

Connect the VCC pin of the PIR sensor to the 5V pin of the Arduino.

Connect the GND pin of the PIR sensor to GND on the Arduino.

Connect the OUT pin of the PIR sensor to digital pin D2 on the Arduino.

Optionally, connect an LED to pin D13 (with a 220Ω resistor for safety) to provide a visual indicator when motion is detected.

Arduino Code:

Now that you have connected the PIR sensor, let’s upload some code to the Arduino. The following code reads the PIR sensor’s output and lights up an LED when motion is detected.

cpp

Copy code

// PIR Sensor Pin Definitions

int pirPin = 2; // Connect the PIR sensor output pin to D2

int ledPin = 13; // LED pin (optional for motion indication)

void setup() {

pinMode(pirPin, INPUT); // PIR sensor as input

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // LED as output (optional)

Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize Serial Monitor

}

void loop() {

int pirState = digitalRead(pirPin); // Read PIR sensor's output

if (pirState == HIGH) { // Motion detected

digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on LED

Serial.println("Motion detected!");

} else { // No motion

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off LED

Serial.println("No motion");

}

delay(1000); // 1 second delay between readings

}

Explaining the Code:

pinMode(): Defines whether the pin is an input or output.

digitalRead(): Reads the PIR sensor output (HIGH or LOW).

digitalWrite(): Controls the LED based on sensor output.

Serial.begin(): Starts serial communication for debugging.

When the PIR sensor detects motion, the pirState variable becomes HIGH, turning on the LED and printing "Motion detected!" to the serial monitor.

Testing the Setup:

Connect your Arduino to your computer and upload the code.

Open the Serial Monitor from the Arduino IDE (Tools > Serial Monitor).

Wave your hand in front of the PIR sensor to test if it detects motion.

If motion is detected, the LED will light up and the message will appear in the Serial Monitor.

Adjusting the PIR Sensor Sensitivity:

Most PIR sensors come with two potentiometers for adjusting sensitivity and delay time. Sensitivity determines the range of detection, and delay time sets how long the output remains HIGH after motion is detected.

Sensitivity Potentiometer: Rotate to increase or decrease detection range.

Delay Time Potentiometer: Adjust how long the PIR sensor output stays HIGH after motion.

Applications of PIR Sensors:

Home Security Systems: Detect intruders and trigger alarms or cameras.

Smart Lighting: Automatically turn lights on when someone enters a room.

Automatic Door Openers: Use PIR sensors to detect approaching people and open doors.

Energy-Efficient Devices: Turn off appliances or lights when no motion is detected, reducing power consumption.

Troubleshooting:

False Positives: If the sensor triggers without motion, reduce the sensitivity or place the sensor in a more controlled environment.

No Motion Detection: Double-check the wiring and ensure that the sensor is properly powered and connected to the correct pins.

Conclusion:

You have successfully interfaced a PIR sensor with an Arduino to create a basic motion detection system. This simple project can be expanded into various applications like security alarms, smart home systems, and automation projects.

By following this blog, beginners will get a solid foundation in interfacing a PIR sensor with an Arduino. Advanced users can add features like buzzer alarms, wireless communication, or integra

Final Project Proposal

A Summary of Your Project

My project is going to be an interactive, visual recreation of a koi pond. It would ultimately be something which is zen and feels somewhat meditative. It would have elements such as moving fish and fading lights around the pond.

Vision Statement, Purpose of Your Project

I initially wanted to make this as a response to my memories of koi ponds specifically throughout my childhood. However, the overarching theme/purpose of the project is simply to create something that feels calming when in the presence of the mini installation. I think koi ponds in general are really calming and meditative, I would like to try and recreate this feeling using slight interactive elements and artistic design. I wonder if a similar feeling can be recreated in a room. 

Ideal Audience / Venue I intend for this project (or some version of this project) to be placed in a dark room with a single warm light which shines upon it. I choose warm light, as this is often associated with a more meditative ambience. In terms of audience, I don’t think I am aiming this towards a specific group of people. I think if it’s executed well, it can be enjoyed by a wide range of people. 

Background/Concept/Story

I initially started with thinking about something that stood out to me in my childhood memories. For some reason, koi ponds came up a lot - my childhood home had one and I liked to spend most of my time there with my dog at the time. I also realised it was something that brought a lot of peace to the home. This project is important to me because it feels personal and takes me back to that time. 

Project Description 

The audience would walk into the dark room to see a single project on a black table. As the audience gets closer to the table, the lights around the pond would turn on. As the audience gets even closer, they will see that the fish inside are moving. The fish will move with servo motors that rotate when motion is detected by a PIR motion sensor. The pond itself will be made of multiple different materials -- see drawings. I would love to incorporate sound in this if it's possible as well. 

How is Your Project Different? 

I haven’t really seen anything super similar before - I tried to research artists and designers who may have done installations which relate, however I didn’t have much luck. I think I was mostly inspired by architectural model-style projects and just added elements of interaction.

BOM

Drawings

^ layers of clear plastic sheets - different elements will be placed in between the sheets to make it look more “3D”

^ visual of how the exterior/circumference of the pond will work - 4 (?) laser cut pieces of wood stacked on top of each other. the layers of plastic will be placed between these layers and trimmed to size

^ servo motor is in the middle (have to figure out how to trim the sheet to make it fit perfectly)

top view example - rocks/pebbles + greens will be added for decoration.

orange dots on the edge represents LEDs

servo motor + LEDS connected to Arduino and triggered by PIR motion sensor.

Artist Statement

‘Mutate’ is a dynamic installation which reacts to the user’s kinetic energy (input) and translates this raw data to produce the movement of an XY plotter (process) which creates an interactive display of articulate and engaged motions, presented through a magnetic ferrofluid (output). We often see ourselves through mirrors, photos, and reflective surfaces, but something that we tend to overlook is the physical representation of ourselves through movement and energy. Everyone’s kinetic energy is different, and that is what ‘Mutate’ aims to portray.

The use of a magnetic substance is also an enigmatic concept, as the earth’s core contains a geomagnetic field that extends from the earth’s interior out into space. For the user to be able to control such a cryptic substance through their own kinetic energy is a complex experience made possible through ‘Mutate’. The design is produced through Arduino software, which uses Grbl and Gcode to control the movement of an XY plotter. An augmented visualisation is created through the input of kinetic energy, which is captured through a PIR motion sensor and allows for the mutation and movement of a magnetic ferrofluid - encased within an acrylic tank.

In Tinkercad circuits, choose sensor substitutes.

Tinkercad Circuits has a small library of frequently used electronic parts by design. Beginners may easily explore the complexities of the electrical world without feeling overwhelmed thanks to this curation. The drawback is that you can't build an identical replica of your circuit in the simulator if you're looking for a particularly specific part number or version of a sensor that isn't there in the parts drawer.

Fortunately for all of us, there's usually a solution to represent your missing component by using a similar one instead. A few major groups of sensors contain many similar sensors. You can choose an appropriate replacement for your Tinkercad Circuit with the aid of this tutorial.

Digital sensors

As they are activated, analogue sensors provide a changing voltage and resistance. Potentiometers are the most common sort of analogue sensor, but other more specialised varieties exist as well, such as flex sensors, photoresistors, microphones, some temperature sensors, force-sensitive resistors (pressure sensors), piezo components, and some IR distance sensors. Analogue inputs can be read using Arduino's analogRead() function or Tinkercad's "read analogue pin" block.

We advise using a potentiometer or TMP36 temperature sensor as an alternative in Tinkercad circuits if the analogue sensor you wish to use has three pins, as they both have three pins (power, ground, and signal). The TMP36 requires a regulated power supply voltage (2.7-5.5V), whereas a potentiometer is an only resistive sensor. This is an important distinction to make.

The only viable alternative in Tinkercad Circuits if your analogue sensor only has two pins is a two-pin photoresistor (the piezo element in Tinkercad Circuits can only be used as an output).

Electronic Sensors

High/low voltage signals and more complicated digital signals are the two primary categories of digital sensors.

Pushbuttons, switches, tilt ball sensors, magnetic reed switches, PIR motion sensors, and vibration switches are a few examples of sensors in this category. Try one of the many switches and pushbuttons available in Tinkercad Circuits, but also have a look at the tilt sensor and PIR motion sensor, whose simulations might more precisely resemble whatever digital sensor you are trying to replicate. Using digitalRead();, Arduino may read signals with high or low voltage. "Read digital pin" is the Tinkercad block for digital inputs. Launch the simulation below, then click on each sensor to see what happens:

The swap possibilities are more constrained for more sophisticated sensors that make use of data protocols like i2c. There isn't a component that can act as your i2c device, yet you might be able to use the extra library by putting it into your Arduino sketch.

Further Resources

When you make a substitution, we advise using the annotation tool to put notes on your circuit. Even though you couldn't illustrate the precise correct component, this can still aid in communicating the intent.

Don't overlook Tinkercad Circuits' starters, which can get you up and going with several fundamental sensors very quickly (in the components drawer).

Try out our beginner-level Arduino courses using Tinkercad Circuits to learn more about how to add sensors into your Arduino projects.

Send the team your requests for components, please! Although we deliberately limit the number of available components, we are constantly considering what we can add to make Tinkercad Circuits even better. Your criticism is a gift. I'm grateful.

Midterm Project: The Video Game Controller

Introduction:  The game initially was supposed to be a game where the objective is to catch water in a bucket for a town experiencing a drought

Sensor Rationale: My sensor was the PIR motion sensor, the rationale was to resemble a VR game where the user would be controlling the direction of the bucket depending on which sensor they activated

Controller Design & Construction: To set up two PIR motion sensors with my Arduino and breadboard, I started by gathering everything I needed: an Arduino board, two PIR sensors (like the HC-SR501), a breadboard, and some jumper wires. Each PIR sensor has three pins (VCC for power, GND for ground, and OUT for the signal). Since the sensor pins are small and not ideal for directly plugging into a breadboard, I decided to solder jumper wires directly to the pins. I soldered one wire to each pin and then I plugged them into the breadboard . I connected both VCC wires to the 5V pin on the Arduino and both GND wires to the Arduino’s GND pin. Then, I connected the OUT wire from the first PIR sensor to digital pin 7 and the OUT wire from the second sensor to digital pin 4.

Arduino Code : 

const int pirPin1 = 5;  // First PIR sensor connected to pin 7

const int pirPin2 = 4;  // Second PIR sensor connected to pin 8

int pirState1 = LOW;    // State of PIR sensor 1

int pirState2 = LOW;    // State of PIR sensor 2

int lastPirState1 = LOW; // Last state of PIR sensor 1

int lastPirState2 = LOW; // Last state of PIR sensor 2

void setup() {

  pinMode(pirPin1, INPUT);  // Set PIR sensor 1 pin as input

  pinMode(pirPin2, INPUT);  // Set PIR sensor 2 pin as input

  Serial.begin(9600);       // Start serial communication at 9600 baud rate

}

void loop() {

  pirState1 = digitalRead(pirPin1);  // Read state of PIR sensor 1

  pirState2 = digitalRead(pirPin2);  // Read state of PIR sensor 2

  Serial.print(pirState1);

  Serial.print (",");

  Serial.println(pirState2);

  // Save the current state as the last state for the next loop

  lastPirState1 = pirState1;

  lastPirState2 = pirState2;

  // Delay between readings to stabilize sensor input

}

P5.js Game Code (Well-Commented): 

let serial; let latestData = "waiting for data"; // To hold the PIR sensor data

// Game variables let basketX, basketY, basketWidth, basketHeight; let fallingRaindrops = []; let score = 0;

let cloudPositions = []; // Store cloud positions for moving clouds

let targetX = 0; // Target x position for sensor 1 (smooth movement) let targetSpeed1 = 0.1; // Smooth speed for sensor 1 (change this value for more smoothness) let targetSpeed2 = 2; // Slower speed for sensor 2 (change this value for slower movement)

function setup() { createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);

// Initialize the serial object for Arduino serial = new p5.SerialPort();

// List all available serial ports serial.list();

// Open the serial port (replace 'COM5' with your correct port) serial.open('COM5');

Communication Protocol Details: This p5.js code connects to an Arduino using a serial port to receive live data, like numbers from sensors. It uses the p5.SerialPort() library to open the connection (on COM5) and listen for different events, like when the connection is opened, closed, or when new data arrives. When the Arduino sends data, the program reads it as a line of text, removes any extra spaces, and splits the text into two values using a comma. These values are saved as value0 and value1, which can be used in the draw() function to control what’s shown on the screen—like the position or behavior of shapes. This setup lets the webpage respond to what the Arduino senses in real time.

User Instructions: Each motion sensor determines if the bucket moves left, right, or remains stagnant. Using the left sensor, move your hand in front of it to move the bucket to the left. Using the right sensor, move your hand in front of it to move the bucket to the right. If both sensors are activated at the same time, the bucket will stay in the place it is in until one sensor halts detection.

Challenges & Solutions: Challenges included setting up the sensor and activating it. The PIR motion sensors are sensitive so trying to get them to turn off and on was a difficult task. However, I managed to tweak the settings to make the time and sensitivity low. However, that also made the sensor delayed, resulting in the reaction time glitchy in the game.

Future Enhancements: Soldering from the beginning and making sure my code is as simple as possible would help me in the future. I think also changing the game could make more sense for the sensor.

Conclusion: I learned a lot in the end, and even used AI to help me with code and wiring. Next time, I hope to use my skills to develop more complex code for p5.js and Arduino so the sensor can be used for a variety of games.

Arduino Projekt: PIR & RFID Alarmanlage

In diesem Projekt möchte ich die bereits erzeugte und vorgestellte Arduino Projekt: Alarmanlage mit RFID Steuerung um einen Pyroelektrischer Infrarot Motion Sensor (PIR) erweitern.

Alarmanlage mit PIR ind RFID Modul

Warum das Projekt PIR & RFID Alarmanlage?

Das Projekt entstand aus einem Kommentar zum Beitrag Arduino Projekt: Alarmanlage mit RFID Steuerung der Leser hatte mich hier gefragt wie denn ein PIR Sensor in die Schaltung integriert werden kann. Dieses habe ich zum Anlass genommen das Projekt neu aufzubauen und zwei PIR Sensoren zu integrieren. Des Weiteren verwende ich nun auch eine RGB SMD Led statt zwei einzelne LEDs somit kann ich noch weitere Zustände farblich darstellen.

Aufbau

Der Aufbau ist auf einem Breadboard, lötfrei und schnell erledigt. Die verbauten Module benötigen 10 digitale Pins somit reicht ein Arduino Leonardo völlig aus. Sicherlich könnte man auch hier einen Arduino UNO oder sogar einen Arduino Nano verwenden, jedoch habe ich sehr gute Erfahrungen mit dem Leonardo gemacht.
