![]() To reset the alarm, a user can press a pushbutton. When this occurs, the Arduino will set the alarm to ON. In this example, we know that an object is passing through the door when the IR sensor’s output exceeds 400. When this happens, the output of the IR sensor will change, and we will detect this change by continually reading the output of the IR sensors with an Arduino. We will connect the sensors to a door jamb, and by properly aligning the sensors, we can detect when someone passes through the door. ![]() The sensor's receiver detects and outputs the angle, and using this value, you can calculate the distance.īy connecting a couple of IR sensors to an Arduino, we can make a simple intruder alarm. ![]() As shown in the figure below, the sensor transmits an infrared pulse into the field, and when there is an object in front of the sensor, the pulse is reflected back to the sensor at an angle proportional to the distance that the object is away from the sensor. These sensors have a small linear charge-coupled device (CCD) array that detects the angle at which the IR radiation returns to the sensor. The IR sensor that we are using in this project is a sharp infrared IR ranger. If there is no reflection, then there is no object. If the receiver does detect a reflection, it means that there is an object at some distance in front of the sensor. The transmitter outputs pulses of infrared radiation, while at the same time, the receiver detects any reflections. IR sensors consist of an IR transmitter and and IR receiver. Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to estimate the distance of an object, but you can also use them to detect the presence of objects. By connecting a couple of IR sensors to an Arduino, you can make an intruder alarm. Infrared (IR) sensors are normally used to measure distances, but they can also be used to detect objects.
