Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is designed to detect motion using a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor and activate a red LED when motion is detected. The circuit is powered by a 9V battery. The HC-SR505 Mini PIR Motion Sensing Module is used as the motion detection component. When motion is detected by the PIR sensor, its output pin goes high, which in turn causes the LED to illuminate. The circuit is simple and does not include a microcontroller or embedded code.
