Motion-activated Servo Motors with Arduino and PIR Sensor

[@robertmccully2792]

I can actually follow what you’re saying. Not talking over our heads trying to prove how smart you are.😊

[@DBB-KE5DUO]

This is a PIRfect example of embedded programming! 🎉🎉 I always learn something new when watching you!! Plus I never get bored 'cuz you have so much fun energy !! I can hardly wait for the next stage of the talking unigoyal !! 😊

[@scubaken89]

Another helpful tutorial explained very well and easy to understand. Can't wait for the next one.

[@berlinjackson1847]

I like your videos. I learn a lot from you.

[@utahwaxwing]

I really appreciate how you clarify so much and make it fun

[@scaresandsparks]

I really like your videos. You're so natural in front of the camera. Or at least you look it! I will send people to your channel for intro stuff as you explain the basics so well.

[@lgallant2486]

Hi Rachel, what sensor type would you recommend to make a creepy portrait with eyes that follow you? 😮

[@VinodKumar-kw4kn]

I really appreciate you made it easy to understand , programme codes and its execution. Beginners can learn easily.

[@michaegi4717]

I've messed around with those sensors for long time. And I always struggled with false detections... but now I found out that this might only be the calibration phase 🤯

[@tirrelogston9984]

Im working with my son on a motion sensor with a servo. We have 3 servos but want to randomize their movements. The servos goal is to shake a box around. How do we set pos to a random state?

[@raysimon1368]

First time seeing one of your videos i can build just about anything i want to but when it comes to driving it with a motor thats when things get complicated im a machinist certified welder and a fabricator all that i understand but wiring a driver much less writing a code just went over my head just want to thank you for your great teaching skills i will make sure to pay attention to your next video love your upbeat personality and you are as beautiful as you are you are a good teacher thanks for sharing

[@anapamelabandoy927]

Hi just want to ask, how can I code when I add a speaker in this set-up. I'm having a hard time adding the speaker to the set-up. It's like when the PI Sensor can detect a motion it will send a trigger for the Servo motor and the speaker to activate. I hope you can help

[@RiDankulous]

This is very interesting, thanks. I have a suggestion for a build and its a sun tracker. I've vaguely recall seeing it done before. One purpose is to find the optimal vertical and horizontal angle to adjust solar panels. If I make an oven heated by a parabolic mirror, the system can find optimal angle for maximum heat. After initial acquisition, it can track periodically and move when needed. It can monitor the temperature with a digital thermometer, and if it's too high then offset just a bit from being directly at the sun, which turns down the heat. And if too low, the reverse. Also, I could set a timer for the cooking time. When complete, the parabolic dish can turn enough away to effectively 'turn off' the oven.

when im trying to type "Servo scaryServo" idk why mine didnt get orange. Do someone know what i have to do to get it orange or what library i need to have? i use arduino uno

[@berlinjackson1847]

Hello Rachel, I am a retired electronic engineer and for a hobby I am learning C++. Are you using a Chromebook with C++. ?

[@RachelDeBarrosLive]

I'm using the Arduino IDE which is free software you can download from their site to program the Arduino microcontrollers. The code is based on C/C++.

[@damianbutterworth2434]

Hi Rachel, I made a burglar alarm using a pen laser shining onto a LDR. Works great. Feel free to use the idea. Might be good in America for protecting large area`s. We don`t have large area`s in the UK. :)

[@robertparenton7470]

Thank You from Frisco, TX.

[@ajad4222]

can i ask wht is the servo library

[@nwvortex]

Would be fun to use this example/code to officiate a game of "Red Light/Green Light," where you have red and green lights tied to the pirState, then introduce a random off time.

[@pearllll777lllll]

[@cobalt01snet]

Hi Rachel, I have a project a switch that activates a servo form 0 to xxx, with a delay on the xxx position before returning to position 0, can you help

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

What does the double forward slash mean to the program

[@RachelDeBarrosLive]

It turns the line into a comment. In other words, by beginning a code line with a double slash //, the Arduino knows this is a comment, a personal note to ourselves to help us remember what's what when we revisit the code months later.

[@dailydoseofnews4828]

Hey Rachel . Would love to see some guide from you based on hoverboards. They are dirt cheap and easy for ppl to get. Comes with motors, batteries and reusable logicboards. For example a RC skateboard or mower ?

[@cx3268]

How to have the controller to sleep and have the PIR wake it up (interrupt) & do something. This will save a lot of battery.

[@nvrenve5213]

I'm like a worm rolling a stone through the fiber optic at the speed of light with your tutorials

[@jamiemoles7275]

Need help programming mine ardniuo uno R3 I need a two prong vibration sensor hooked up to it to activate my relay. I do not know how to do that I do not know how to write the program can you please please help me I have tried looking it up. It didn’t do me no good.

[@emmamarx9284]

Best arduino tuts on youtube, hands down! you are amazing!

[@AJayTheStageArtist]

❤awesome tutorial 👍

[@monark175]

love watching your shows. i have a problem with my code. i am trying to get my leds to flash and sweep my servo, i also have leds that are on. my servo doesnt sweep.

[@juansantana8448]

why do you always keep referring to inanimate things as "he"?

[@emmamarx9284]

Shush.

[@edparker9837]

I look forward to the "misfit toys" because that is what I plan on making.

[@Yunus-v3i]

lovely

[@monark175]

also using pir to start sequence. i have simulated smoke, fire, fire station alarms and want to open doors to fire station.

[@mazharkhaliq1971]

Thank you for the video

[@cadillacescalade5428]

HI, I need this with a IR sensor and sound added In sweep mode.

[@proyectostogo1462]

Great !!! I will make this project next and thank uuuuu love tour cahnnel

There she is, my favorite influential arduino Teacher.

[@user-gk9oj3nb1m]

OMG, Just another brilliant tutorial!

[@jaguarke069]

Should the pos =0 be 0 respectively? as the ++ -- happens after the check I think you'll end up with 181 and -1 degrees. Is my understanding correct?

[@Sovvyy]

Yes, you would outside the loop as the ++ / - - occurs at the end of each loop iteration. They're using an Int here so the >= 0 condition will be met (unlike with a Byte).

[@jaguarke069]

@@Sovvyy cheers!

[@Loosatsu]

I need most new things explained step by step like this. This is awesome 🤘

[@RachelDeBarrosLive]

Awesome, thank you! 👍

[@lesliefoster9027]

Great, thank you, thank you.

[@ControlsEngineerOne]

An other awesome show!

[@JamesCotter-be4se]

This is a great series Thanks

[@davidanddavidstrading]

New fav channel!

[@ZenHulk]

Thank You

[@JyskMaker]

"int" take 2 byte (-32768 to 32767) so if you use Byte 0 to 255 you only use 1 byte.

[@louiepauda6275]

Hey! You know you like electronics! I like electronics what you say maybe I can introduce you to my "Mom"?

[@MarioRossibless]

You are espectacular great classes . You're channel is very helpfull. Thank you

[@BrodeySheppard]

Not going to lie, ChatGPT. I just tell it my hardware, some specs on hardware, tell it to "Ask questions if you need to know anything" and tell it what I want. Gives me code that is pretty close first time every time.
