PIR Sensor Input Testing:

LED On/Off depends on PIR sensor's analog input

  pinMode(ultraSoundSignal, OUTPUT); 

  digitalWrite(ultraSoundSignal, LOW); // Send low pulse
  delayMicroseconds(2); // Wait for 2 microseconds
  digitalWrite(ultraSoundSignal, HIGH); // Send high pulse
  delayMicroseconds(5); // Wait for 5 microseconds
  digitalWrite(ultraSoundSignal, LOW); // Holdoff

   pinMode(ultraSoundSignal, INPUT); // Switch signalpin to input
  val = digitalRead(ultraSoundSignal); // Append signal value to val
  while(val == LOW) { // Loop until pin reads a high value

The first failure

Aurduino Software and Hardware didn't communicate at all.


I didn't install FTDIUSBSerial Driver.

What I will use are

• 75 db Piezo Electric Buzzer
• PIR Sensor Module
• P3 outdoor sensor for Temperature and Humidity

PIR Sensor Module

PIR sensor detects motion from up to twenty feet away, and PIR stands for Pyroelectric Infrared Ray or Passive InfraRed. 
This module contains Fresnel lens in order to extend a detectable distance and expand sensitivity.
