This alarm can be very useful in a room or an area that should normally have no movement at all in it. In a totally still room with no movement, no vibration will be detected and the alarm will not go off. Once the circuit detects a vibration, which could represent that someone can entered the room or there is some type of movement disturbance, th

e alarm will be triggered. In our circuit, specifically, we will design it so that an LED will turn on and stay on once a vibration is detected. This will alert us that a vibration has been detected and someone has entered a room and is moving around in the vicinity of where the circuit is located. The piezo vibration sensor is from the company MEAS. It can be obtained from a number of online retailers for a very low price (under $5). Follow this link to the piezo sensor offered by Sparkfun- Sparkfun- Piezo vibration sensor. When there is a sufficient enough of a vibration, the vibration sensor will produce a spike in voltage in response. This voltage may be as high as G‚ ±90V. The voltage is an analog voltage. It is this voltage produced that can trigger on another device. In this circuit, we connect this output voltage to the analog pins 0 and 1 on the arduino board. When vibration is detected, the piezo sensor creates a voltage on the analog line. The arduino pins detect this and through our software, we can program it so that when this analog voltage is detected, the LED on digital pin 8 of the arduino turns on. Once the piezo vibration sensor senses a sufficient enough vibration, it produces a voltage in response to this movement. The voltage can be very large, but the arduino analog terminals have built-in resistance in order to attenuate this signal. So you don`t have to worry about this extremely large voltage...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
