IR based Motion Sensor Circuit using 555 Timer IC Build a Simple Motion Detector Circuit using 555 Timer to Control AC Loads

Motion sensor circuits are there on the Internet for quite a while now. These circuits are mainly used to drive AC load (like lights, fans) in home automation or IoT projects. It is also very common in manufacturing industries, like on conveyor belts where the presence/position of a particular object has to be detected.

So, in this tutorial, we are…

Motion Detector Using MSP430 Launchpad and PIR Sensor Motion Detector Using MSP430 Launchpad and PIR Sensor

Motion detection is an essential part of security systems and PIR sensor is one of the most commonly used sensor for trigging the alarms when motion is detected. This sensor can detect human/animal movements easily by sensing the IR rays emitted by them. We previously used PIR sensor to build various kind of alarms and security systems:

Interfacing PIR Sensor with PIC Micro-controller Interfacing PIR Sensor with PIC Microcontroller

PIR (Passive Infrared) or Motion Sensor is used to detect the motion of moving human body or objects. Whenever someone comes in the range of PIR sensor, it gives High at its output pin. We have previously interfaced PIR with other Microcontrollers:

Raspberry Pi Motion Sensor/Detector Circuit using PIR Raspberry Pi Motion Sensor Alarm using PIR Sensor

Security systems play an important role in our day to day lives and there we can find a lot of different types of security systems with different kinds of technologies and with different price range. Being an electronic enthusiastic you can make a simple security system by spending few bucks and some spare time.  Here in this article I am sharing a DIY guide to make a…

Arduino Motion Sensor/Detector Project using PIR Sensor Arduino Motion Detector using PIR Sensor

Detecting motions or movements has always been important in most projects. With the help of the PIR Sensor it has become very easy to detect human/animal movements. In this project we will learn how we can interface a PIR Sensor with a microcontroller like Arduino. We will interface an Arduino with PIR module and blink a LED and beep a Buzzer whenever a movement is detected…

Burglar Alarm System using PIR Sensor Burglar Alarm Circuit

A burglar alarm system is an important part of home security systems. This burglar alarm project is based on a PIR sensor, UM3561 and a Speaker. PIR sensor used to detect body motion and UM3561 & speaker to produce a Police siren after any movement detection. Our simple burglar alarm circuit diagram provides an affordable DIY solution for enhancing your home…

PIR Motion Detector/Sensor Circuit Diagram PIR Sensor Based Motion Detector/Sensor Circuit

Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) is very useful module, used to build many kinds of Security Alarm Systems and Motion Detectors. It is called passive because it receives infrared, not emits. Basically PIR sensor detects any change in heat, and whenever it detects any change, its output PIN becomes HIGH. They are also referred as Pyroelectric or IR motion sensors.
