Course Description

Make your own Arduino Motion Detector and start Catching Intruders, Control devices, and lots more Cool Applications.

>>> This Course will show you how to build an Arduino Motion Detector Device that will Fire an Alarm once an Intruder is detected in a range of 6 to 7 meters, it will take you in a step by step manner to know what each component inside the device circuit is, and what it does and how to wire it up <<<

Why you should take this course?

  • This course is great for beginners who are interested in learning how to build an electronic device that can sense motion.

  • Learn how to use an Arduino microcontroller, a Light dependent resistor sensor, and a piezo speaker to detect motion.

  • The course includes complete written instructions with accompanying video tutorials.

  • This course is good for people who want to learn how to make their own projects or build toys.

  • The course teaches you how to use the Arduino IDE environment, connecting sensors, writing code, programming output pins, installing libraries, understanding the pulse width modulation technique used in this project, getting input from multiple sensors at once.

  • Build your first device within one hour of starting the course!

4 Star | 1500 STUDENTS!!! THANK YOU!!!

What students are saying:

  • Bobbie Smith says, "This course gives you excellent information and clear instructions on creating a motion detector. Thank you."

Welcome to this course.

You will know what is the actual working principle of Motion detectors that you see in banks and indoor opening and closing mechanisms and what you can do with it and how to interface it with your own Arduino and make it execute and action using simple codes freely, you will no longer need to buy a motion detector or customize it since you can make the device yourself.

After this course, you will be able to make your own Motion detector and the choice is yours to use it in any application that comes to your mind and can make your life easier since all connections are explained in detail.

Goal From This Course:  

- Connect a Motion Detector Sensor to Arduino Board with all necessary Components and make it work.

Required Materials   

Hardware:   

  • Arduino or an Arduino clone board (Freedonia), or you can make your own custom Arduino board.

  • PIR Motion Sensor.

  • A piezo buzzer or an 8-ohm speaker.

  • 9V Battery and connector.

  • Connecting wires.

Software:   

  • Arduino IDE

My passion is inspiring people through online courses. I love learning new skills, and since 2007 have been teaching people like you everything I know. Through my online learning business, Educational Engineering School, I create courses that teach you how to become the better version of yourself with all kinds of skills.

What would you like to learn?

Would you like to make money being an Embedded System Developer?

Would you like to build your own 6-figure business?

Would you like to learn how to code, circuit design or solder electronic components?

Would you like to make better projects?

Would you like to start an embedded system career, create  great projects, kick start an idea, program, simulate, and create PCB Boards, launch a freelance career?

If you want to do any of these things, just enroll in the course. You have a 30-day money back guarantee if you don't like it. And I'm always improving my courses so that they stay up to date and the best that they can be. Check them out, and enroll today!

More About Ashraf:

I've always tried to live life presently and to the fullest. Some of the things I love to do in my spare time include football, biking, traveling to new places, watching sports (huge football fan here!), and sharing meals with friends and family.

In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering at Azhar University - one of the top schools in the country. While there, I was fortunate to make Embedded Systems project using Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and other modules. After graduating, I worked at My own university as a Teacher Assistant . I followed that stint with a contract at a local College where I discovered how amazing it is to share your knowledge offline, which made me eager and eventually found myself starting my own online learning journey. I helped more than 100k student since then. Most recently. Throughout this time I built my Educational Engineering School Online brand to teach others the skills that I have. Now I only do things I love each day.

I want to show you how to be a better Embedded System creator, make money from your skills, and live the life you dreamed of.
