Motion Sensor ARTWORK

Help & Support Robot Parts
1

I want to embed a motion sensor that activates a small vibration motor so that my art work moves when someone approach it. I am looking at the PIR motion sensor module made by SEEED and need advice on compatible power source and vibration motor components to complete the circuit. Ideally these components are small and light weight and can be connected withOUT soldering.
Any advice would be useful. Thanks

Hi,

You will need a Microcontroller, a PIR Sensor and a Vibrating Motor.
As you are looking for a small and light design, you might consider using the Arduino Nano microcontroller, the Seeedstudio Grove Vibrating Motor and the Gravity PIR Sensor.
For power supply, you can use a 9V alkaline battery with this Battery holder.

Cheers,

thanks! are these solderless components?

Hi,

Apart the 9V Battery Holder that should be soldered to the Vin and GND pins of the Arduino Nano, the other components are solderless. You can use Jumper Wires.

Hi Brahim, do I need an arduino unit for this circuit? couldn’t i just connect the motion sensor directly to the vibration motor and battery?
thanks again for your help.

Hi,

A microcontroller is needed to be interfaced with the motion sensor and to activate the vibrating motor.
Here is a project example.
