Summary of the Circuit
This circuit is designed around an Arduino UNO microcontroller, which serves as the central processing unit. The circuit includes a variety of sensors and output devices, including an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor), a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, an HC-SR501 motion sensor, and an LED with a series resistor. The Arduino UNO is responsible for interfacing with these components, processing sensor data, and controlling the LED based on certain conditions.
Component List
Arduino UNO
- Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
- Purpose: Acts as the central processing unit for the circuit, interfacing with sensors and controlling outputs.
Resistor (200 Ohms)
- Description: A passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
- Purpose: Limits current to the LED to prevent damage.
HC-SR501 Motion Sensor
- Description: A PIR sensor module that detects motion by measuring changes in the infrared levels emitted by surrounding objects.
- Purpose: Provides motion detection capabilities to the circuit.
LED: Two Pin (Red)
- Description: A two-pin light-emitting diode that emits red light when powered.
- Purpose: Acts as an indicator or output device that can be controlled by the Arduino.
LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)
- Description: A type of photoresistor that changes resistance based on the ambient light level.
- Purpose: Senses the ambient light level for the circuit to make decisions based on lighting conditions.
DHT11
- Description: A basic, ultra low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor.
- Purpose: Measures the ambient temperature and humidity for environmental monitoring.
