                                            Tutorial  @Mr ProjectsoPedia

Hello again,

In this blog, We will learn about how PIR sensor(HC-sr501) work and we can control 230v bulb with hand gesture by using PIR sensor, relay, and Arduino. Using Arduino to get a signal from the PIR sensor and then send a signal to relay to switch a load and turn on the 230v blub.

In the Arduino project, We start with basic whenever PIR sensor detect a hand gesture or motion then the LED is blinking and beep a Buzzer.

Component requirements:

1. Arduino uno. - Buy

2. Pir sensor ( Hc-sr501 ). - Buy

3. Buzzer. - Buy

4. Resistor 220ohm.

5. LED.

6. Breadboard. - Buy

7. Jumper wire.

Pin connection:

1. Connect PIR signal pin to arduino digital pin 13. 

2. Connect PIR V+ pin to arduino 5v pin.

3. Connect PIR GND pin to arduino GND pin.

4. Connect arduino digital pin 12 to 220ohm resistor and connect the resistor to LED V+ pin. 

5. Connect LED GND pin to arduino GND pin.

6. Connect Buzzer V+ pin to arduino digital pin 11

7. Connect Buzzer GND pin to arduino GND pin.

CODE:

//the time we give the sensor to calibrate (10-60 secs according to the datasheet)
int calibrationTime = 30;        

//the time when the sensor outputs a low impulse
long unsigned int lowIn;         

//the amount of milliseconds the sensor has to be low 
//before we assume all motion has stopped
long unsigned int pause = 5000;  

boolean lockLow = true;
boolean takeLowTime;  

int pirPin = 7;    //the digital pin connected to the PIR sensor's output
int ledPin = 5;    //the digital pin connected to the LED output
int Buzzer = 6;    //the digital pin connected to the BUZZER output

/////////////////////////////
//SETUP
void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(pirPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(Buzzer, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(pirPin, LOW);

  //give the sensor some time to calibrate
  Serial.print("calibrating sensor ");
    for(int i = 0; i < calibrationTime; i++){
      Serial.print(".");
      delay(1000);
      }
    Serial.println(" done");
    Serial.println("SENSOR ACTIVE");
    delay(50);
  }

////////////////////////////
//LOOP
void loop(){

     if(digitalRead(pirPin) == HIGH){
       digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   //the led visualizes the sensors output pin state
       tone(Buzzer,500);
       if(lockLow){  
         //makes sure we wait for a transition to LOW before any further output is made:
         lockLow = false;            
         Serial.println("---");
         Serial.print("motion detected at ");
         Serial.print(millis()/1000);
         Serial.println(" sec"); 
         delay(50);
         }         
         takeLowTime = true;
       }

     if(digitalRead(pirPin) == LOW){       
       digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  //the led visualizes the sensors output pin state
       noTone(Buzzer);
       if(takeLowTime){
        lowIn = millis();          //save the time of the transition from high to LOW
        takeLowTime = false;       //make sure this is only done at the start of a LOW phase
        }
       //if the sensor is low for more than the given pause, 
       //we assume that no more motion is going to happen
       if(!lockLow && millis() - lowIn > pause){  
           //makes sure this block of code is only executed again after 
           //a new motion sequence has been detected
           lockLow = true;                        
           Serial.print("motion ended at ");      //output
           Serial.print((millis() - pause)/1000);
           Serial.println(" sec");
           delay(50);
           }
       }
  }

In the second Arduino project, Whenever PIR sensor detect a hand gesture or motion detect the 230v bulb should be on by using relay for switch a load.

Warning!!: Before proceeding with this project, I want to let you know that you’re dealing with mains voltage. Please do not touch any wires that are connected to mains voltage, otherwise you may shock yourself. This is a serious topic, and we want you to be safe. If you’re not 100% sure what you are doing, do yourself a favor and don’t touch anything.

Ask someone who knows!
