DIY Motion Detection SMS Alarm System

In this project I will combine a cheap PIR motion sensor with a TC35 GSM module to build an alarm system which sends you an "INTRUDER ALERT" SMS whenever somebody tries to steal your stuff. Let's get started !

This video gives you all basic information you need to get this build right. But I will give you some additional advice in the next steps.

Here you can find the schematic which you should always follow during your hardware build ! If you do so then everything will work out.

Here you can download the sketch for the arduino mini. Make sure to download the timer library before trying to upload the code.
