Arduino Uno R3 5mm LDR 10K ¼W Resistor 1K ¼W Resistor 5mm Red LED 5V Piezo-Buzzer 9V battery PIR/IR sensor (see text) Sensor Input ...

TK has combined a PIR with an Arduino to create a smart safety light for the house or workshop. Follow along as this gets built out into a more extensive project.

Present consists of just a PIR sensor and Arduino in a 3D printed enclosure to snap onto your monitor.

While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.
