Motion Detector Using PIR and Arduino
The Motion Detector using PIR and Arduino is a practical and effective security system designed to detect human motion in a specific area. It uses a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor to sense movement, an Arduino Uno for processing, and a 16×2 LCD (with I2C module) to display motion alerts in real-time. This system can be used in homes, offices, or any space where motion-based automation or monitoring is required.
The PIR sensor works by detecting infrared radiation emitted by warm bodies like humans. When motion is detected, it sends a signal to the Arduino. The Arduino then activates a buzzer (optional) and displays the message “Motion Detected” on the LCD. If no movement is sensed, the LCD displays “No Motion”, keeping the user informed.
This system is low-cost, easy to build, and helps students learn the fundamentals of sensor interfacing, LCD communication, and real-time monitoring with Arduino.
