LAB –10 Programming on PIR sensor

Aim:
To detect the movement using Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor using Raspberry pi board
using Python.

Task:
Construct a “Motion Detector” using PIR sensor and Raspberry pi board using Python.

Pin & Circuit Diagram:

Algorithm:

Initialize:

Import the necessary libraries: RPi.GPIO and time.


Set up the GPIO mode to BCM.
Define the GPIO pin to which the PIR sensor output is connected.\

Main Loop:

Enter an infinite loop.

Read PIR Sensor:


Read the state of the PIR sensor (HIGH for motion detected, LOW for no motion).

Motion Detection:
If motion is detected (PIR sensor output is HIGH):
Perform actions (e.g., print a message, send notifications, etc.).
Delay:
Pause for a short time (e.g., 0.1 seconds) to avoid rapid readings.

Cleanup:
Clean up GPIO settings before exiting the program.
Program:

# Import necessary libraries

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

import time

# Set the GPIO mode to BCM

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Set the PIR sensor pin

PIR_PIN = 17

# Setup the PIR sensor pin as input

GPIO.setup(PIR_PIN, GPIO.IN)

try:

print("Motion Detector Active...")

while True:

# Read the PIR sensor input

pir_state = GPIO.input(PIR_PIN)

if pir_state == GPIO.HIGH:

print("Motion Detected!")

# Do something when motion is detected (e.g., send an alert, turn on a light, etc.)

else:
print("No Motion")

# Pause for a short time to avoid excessive readings

time.sleep(0.1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:

# Clean up GPIO settings on keyboard interrupt

print("Motion Detector Stopped")

GPIO.cleanup()
Output:
Pre Lab Questions:
1. Define motion sensor.

2. Illustrate the characteristics of Adafruit PIR sensor.

Post Lab Questions:


1. What is retriggering?

2. How do PIR sensors work?
