Materials:
PIR motion sensor
Arduino Uno board
6 jumper wires
Soldering iron
Welding wire
9V battery
Directions:
-
Solder 3 jumper wires onto your LED strip where it has the ground, power, and data. Make sure to solder them in the directions where the arrows are directing to.
-
Take your PIR sensor and connect three wires to them. Again, they should be placed on the power, ground, and data. Next, you want to take the wires from both the PIR sensor and the LED strip that connect to power and solder them together.
-
You will then connect your power line to 5V on the Arduino board.
-
Take your wire that conects to ground on the pir sensor and connect it to one of the ground pins on the arduino board. Next, connect the ground wire from your LED strip to the other ground pin.
-
Take the jumper wire that’s soldered in the middle of your LED and connect it to pin #6.
-
Take the jumper wire from your PIR sensor that reads data (located in the middle of where the three wire are connected to) and insert it in pin #7.
-
Connect arduino board to computer, open arduino application, create new file and paste code. Then click on “Upload” to verify work.
