  • Maybe you know PIR sensors and probably you have used them already in your projects. Did you think about mechanism of their operation? How they work? How those modules can detect movement?
    In this video you will learn how exactly they work, how their mechanism is operating. After watching this video, your understanding of analog circuits will improve.
    Also you will find answer of these questions below.
    How an LDR works?
    How motion detector works?
    How PIR works?

    Love the practical example along with the realistic problem solving of external variables. These videos showing real applications and implementations are my favourite. Not sure if it was planned but glad it happened.

    As someone trying to learn electronics strictly through youtube videos (probably not the most efficient way) this video is very enlightening and much appreciated. Seeing a circuit evolve and troubleshooted makes resistor choices more clear and logical. Usually we just get told "use X resistor here ,its common practise".
    Im surprised it worked so well i think I will try this technique for a mouse trap ive been putting off, mainly because the PIR modules i intend to use arent that straight forward to use, and ive been having good luck with just using them to catch the mouses manually - by extending the light the PIR is attached too into my room that turns on notifying me the mouse is in the box i set out, which i come by and close the entrance while the mouse just sits there thinking i dont know its there. Winner winner, mouse dinner. JK i release them, but theres 1 left and it wont sit there ... I need a switch to close the entrance but need detection first. Thought about usin that vibration detectoin IC that comes with the arduino kit and then the PIR module but the ciruity looks way more complicated and i think going simple is smarter to start, then work up to something more complex if its even needed. Anyway great video and nice results ,the increases and decreaseing could even be used to tell you if something is coming or going, more infromation then a PIR module can even give, very nice.

    Several lessons in one! Great working through iterative process of solving problems to get what you want. Noise mitigation is near and dear to my heart! I was wondering if you were going to pull some l-c filtering too! ;) I love the overhead shot w the scope too. Unique to me and I love it, well done and effective. Also becoming one of my fav channels too. Many thanks for your time and sharing your obvious skill with us.

    I don't think the idea was to design the perfect circuit, but to explain and show the concepts to people like me who has no electronics background and who simply likes to play for the fun of it. Thank you for this lesson, I always wanted to understand op-amps better. I know there is a way of using a NE555 to create a switch that stays on when triggered untill it is triggered again. I was thinking if I combine that with this, I will have a neat portable intruder alarm. Something more to play with :)

    Amazing! I finally had the time to put the motion detector together on my breadboard. This hands on method is the best way to teach as I learned so much from this project. I do have one question. What is the purpose of the diode that is connected between the positive and negative terminal of the buzzer? I also can't stop playing with it. Thank you.

    • @elewizard
      @elewizard  Před 7 měsíci

      It is really funny to play with that circuit 😃. The diode is called flywheel diode. It is used in parallel with inductive loads. The buzzer is inductive load. If you ignore it maybe you didn't feel amy different, but in noisy environments it will shot its impact.

    Thanks! Can you show the internal workings of Inductive/capacitive Proximity Sensors like lJ12A3/used in industrial control applications. I took one apart, after wrestling and boiling the epoxy resin, found a board with bunch of SMD components, some of the component came loose and the main npn transistor was scratched beyond recognition. I would love to build one on the breadboard and use when I'm lab tutoring.

      Yes certainly, but I am not sure when.

  • @RexxSchneider

    When you have a noisy input signal, hysteresis is your friend. A little bit of positive feedback (a large resistor from output to non-inverting input) will ensure clean switching from one state to the other without transmitting any of the noise to the output. I'd recommend using comparators rather than opamps in open loop for these sort of applications as they are happy with bigger differential inputs and are much less likely to lock-up under unexpected conditions.

    • @kennmossman8701
      @kennmossman8701 Před 8 měsíci

      well while that is true it is mainly used if the signal is erratic. Noise is handled via filters

    • @kennmossman8701
      @kennmossman8701 Před 8 měsíci

      for newbies a omparator uses a different circuit - it is not a direct replacement

    • @kennmossman8701
      @kennmossman8701 Před 8 měsíci

      comparators will also switch faster

    • @elewizard
      @elewizard  Před 8 měsíci

      Thank you for your recommendation 👌

    • @RexxSchneider
      @RexxSchneider Před 8 měsíci

      ​@@kennmossman8701
      1. If you want to use filters, then you are adding an additional stage of complexity. It's not necessary when the noise is small. The Schmitt trigger is used to combat small amounts of jitter anytime we want to switch cleanly, and you only need one resistor to implement the positive feedback in this circuit.
      2. Nonsense. The comparator is used in the same circuit as an open loop opamp. That's because a comparator is an opamp that has been designed to accept larger differential voltages and (usually) a larger common mode range.
      3. Common comparators like the LM393 have very similar internal circuitry to a common opamp like the LM358, apart from an open collector output rather than the push-pull on most opamps. That leads to similar performance and switching speed. You can get faster comparators and faster opamps, of course, but for these sort of circuits switching speed doesn't really matter.

  • @illusionarylife5741
    @illusionarylife5741 Před 6 měsíci

    If ldr reduces resistance in light, then would not connecting point a to +ve keep output high when illumination increase?

    • @elewizard
      @elewizard  Před 6 měsíci +1

      No, the LDR is not connecting something, it is making a voltage 👍

    • @illusionarylife5741
      @illusionarylife5741 Před 6 měsíci

      @elewizard Sorry for not makimg my question clear. If light increases then voltage would increase at point a, right? If point A in circuit is connected to +ve pin of comparator, then the output of comparator should be high? Although in the video you say the opposite in the last circuit where both comparators are connected. That's what confuses me. Thanks for the reply.

  • @marklibich415
    @marklibich415 Před 8 měsíci

    Why wouldn't you just use a Wheatstone Bridge for the triggering part of the circuit? I think it would be much more sensitive.

    • @elewizard
      @elewizard  Před 8 měsíci

      Yes, it would be more sensitive, but here in this video I prefere to focus on concept, not circuit itself 👌

  • @kennmossman8701
    @kennmossman8701 Před 8 měsíci

    Strictly speaking a PIR is not a motion detector - it detects changes in heat. A photo-cell would be less useful,,,,,,,walkimg into a dark room [unless you were carrying a light source] would do nothing' you need to either shine/reflect light onto it or block an existing light source

    • @elewizard
      @elewizard  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Yes you are right, but you can replace the LDR with a photo diode, then this circuit will be able to detect infrared changes in environment. Or you can replace the LDR with a microphone, then the circuit will be able to detect sound in environment. In this video the concept is more important than the application

  • @user-mr3mf8lo7y

    Glad you found the culprit. Is 1N4148 really necessary on buzzer leads?

    • @kennmossman8701
      @kennmossman8701 Před 8 měsíci +2

      A power diode such as the 1N400 family is effective at lower frequencies [and can handle more current
      A diode will prevent back EMF

    • @elewizard
      @elewizard  Před 8 měsíci +2

      No, it not necessary, it is recommended
