Figure 1. Circuit diagram for PIR sensor

Experiment Procedure

1. Connect the PIR sensor, LED and buzzer to your Arduino

2. Write the code with Arduino IDE with the following requirements:
- Read the signal from PIR sensor
- When PIR detects a movement in the monitoring area: Turn LED on,
buzzer ON, send “Motion detected” message to Serial Monitor
- When no motion detects: Led OFF, buzzer OFF, and send “No motion
detected” message to Serial Monitor

3. Adjust the button on PIR sensor to test the distance and delay time for motion
detection of PIR
