Week 6 - Journal

This week assignment is to Build and Program a smart circuit using an Arduino UNO which reads a signal from an input component (Sensor, Switch, or variable resistor) to control an action component (Motor, Buzzer, LED...etc) using Code Blocks .

i saw this idea at a movie where the lights is on just when there is a motion .

so i decided to build a program simulate the same idea " light with motion sensor.

Using Tinkercad I started adding the components on the breadboard and connecting it to the power source and Arduino  UNO board.

1. Connected the  PIR sensor as follows:

1. 1. signal to pin 5.

   2. power to positive of power source.

   3. ground to negative of power source.

2. connected the led as follows:

   1. terminal 1 to ground of power source.

   2. terminal 2 to the terminal 1 of the resistor.

   3. terminal 2 of the resistor to pin 6 at Arduino.

3. connected Arduino as follows:

1. GND to ground of power source.

2. VIN  to positive of power source.

Note:

Arduino is powered  using 6v to 12 v, 5v will not be enough.

coding using Arduino will help me at my final project since i will use it to control the different electronic components to make the required mition from it.

make an device we see around us every day by myself was a cool thing acuelly.
