Arduino PIR Motion Sensor

by MakerSpark Industries @ instructables.com:

This Instructable is about how to create an Arduino PIR motion sensor for your room or office, using parts available from your local Radio Shack! Whether you’re looking for a cool and easy-to-build security sensor, or an awesome first project to dive into the world of Arduino, Microcontrollers, and electronics, this project is for you. (This project really is easy. Take it from me, I’m 12, and I’ve only had my Arduino for a week and a half.)

Nerf Sentry Gun for the Apocalypse

If you’ve ever wanted to shoot someone with a Nerf gun, but just didn’t have the energy to get off the couch, this hack may be for you. It’s also a good way to ward off zombies if another apocalypse, Mayan or otherwise, is on the horizon.

Although the effects are very cool, as seen in the video after the break, the method for making this setup was quite simple. The requirements for this project were that the gun could not be permanently modified, and everything had to fire automatically. These restrictions may have contributed to the simplicity of the design as many of us would start breaking things before we had to.

Instead of some elaborate hack, the trigger was tied back in the firing position at all times. A relay was then used to interrupt the power supply to the mechanism allowing an Arduino equipped with an infrared sensor to automatically control the firing. The setup is explained after the break, but skip to around 1:55 if you’d rather just see the guns in action.

rs16_blog_featurecBuild a motion-sensing alarm by combining a few common components: an Arduino, a PIR sensor, a piezo buzzer, and a breadboard. All you need is some jumper wire to connect them all, and the software to run it.

ioBridge First Project: Webcam with PIR sensor.

iobridge, PIR, webcam Commenti disabilitati su ioBridge First Project: Webcam with PIR sensor. 

Since I can recollect using the internet (91/92?) I have been doing the following search: "Devices Connected to the Internet" (remember yahoo directory!), and have always been wondering when was my turn to connect "something" to the tubes.

I was finally able to create my own webcam with a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor.



A couple weeks ago I stumbled in to ioBridge. The minute I saw it I knew I needed it :) . I have
been interested in home automation for while (and even invested on some x10 devices) but I have been always looking for the missing link; internet connectivity.

So this is pretty basic. I have a webcam mounted on a Futaba S3003 servo. I ordered the servo controller smart board as well from ioBridge so all necessary servo communication is done.
I'm using an Airlink 101 wireless webcam (got it at Frys) , and it is really nice that it has a bottom and top standard tripod compatible screw. So all I had to do is get an extra tripod base adaptor that I mounted directly to my servo.


As soon as I got my ioBridge, I ran to radio shack to see what I could find. Sadly Radio Shack does not have the biggest stock of electronic components (at least the one close to my house). But I did manage to find this: a Pir Sensor Module. The voltage required is 3.3-5v, and it has a digital signal output.

Then on friday hackaday.com published this passive infrared (PIR) tutorial and there I found a link to the following project which inspired me to do the same minus the arduino board (which btw I will be getting one soon). And here is where I found out how much ioBridge rocks! I am able to do basically the same using ioBridge actions. This is truly amazing!

I also implemented an iPhone version using the ioBridge iTurn as an example where I can pan the camara depending on my iPhone orientation. Pretty neat!

Using the ioBridge JavaScipt API I was also able to create buttons to move the camera.

You can also see that I have a light control. That implementation is using x10 Firecracker PC serial interface connected to a linux machine and some x10 linux controlling software (BlueLava + Heyu) which I expect to replace soon with an ioBridge x10 smart board.

Video after the break....
