Arduino Alarm With Ultrasonic Sensor

This instructable is about how to make an easy and cheap alarm device by youself.All you need is basic knowledge in electronics and arduino programming.

If you have any questions or problems you can contact me on my mail:iwx.production@gmail.com

Here is also video of this project:

So let's begin.

You can also see on video how this project is working.

-Arduino Mega or Uno

-Ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04

-2 push buttons

-Arduino relay modul

-3 LEDs(green,red,blue) If you want you can choose other colors

-some resistors (10k ohm)

-buzzer

-jumper wires

-breadboard

For this project I used ultrasonic module HC-SR04 because it is cheap and it is easy to work with.I bought it on internet for 3$.

So on this sensor you have 4 pins.

1.pin Vcc - this pin is connected to 5V+.

2.pin. Trig - you need to define this pin in your program.

3.pin Echo -this pin is the same as Trig you also need to define him.

4.pin GND - this pin is connected to ground.

How to define pin.

In this case you need to define pins for Trig and Echo.I defined digital pin 7 for trigPin and digital pin 8 for echoPin.

If you want you can choose other digital pins from 2 to 53..(except 0 and 1)

You need to write this code before void setup (). (Watch step Code)

#define trigPin 7

#define echoPin 8

When you are connecting pushbuttons you must connect resistor ( I used 10k ohm resistors) between GND and pushbutton.To ensure logical 0 on pushbutton.

Pushbutton (ON) is connected to digital pin 10

Pushbutton (OFF) is connected to digital pin 6

Buzzer is connected to digital pin 3

Red LED is connected to digital pin 4

Blue LED is connected to digital pin 5

Green LED is connected to digita pin 11

Relay is connected to digital pin 11

Wire for buzzer is firstly connected to relay module and then from relay to buzzer.I used NC contact on relay

This is code for alarm.

Just download it, plug in Arduino and upload code.
