Story


Hey friends welcome back today in this tutorial I will show you how to Make Tripwire security Alarm using Arduino.

A tripwire is one of the most basic ways to set up a very simple security system. You cross a line across a pathway. Whenever someone walks through the beam, the buzzer alarm activate. This project is very simple to build since we won't have to modify any parts.

Here is the Schematics Diagram for this project. as you can see the circuit diagram is very easy and simple. follow circuit diagram and connect the all components.

Step 3: Connecting the Buzzer and LDR to the Arduino

1 / 3Assemble

Assemble

Assemble

Plug our Buzzer into GND and Pin D8 of the Arduino.

The LDR will go into GND and Pin D2 of the Arduino.

I provided a image with all pins tagged to make things easier for you.

Step 4: Program Your Arduino

Programming

Programming

Programming

Connect the Arduino with your laptop or PC using usb cable and program your Arduino using the code provided in below.

First, download the Arduino sketch from here

//diyprojectslab.com
const int photo = 2;
const int Buzzer= 8;
void setup()
{
pinMode(Buzzer, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(Buzzer, LOW);
pinMode(photo, INPUT_PULLUP);
}
void loop() {//if/else loop checks if photoresistor is high or low
if(digitalRead(photo)==HIGH){
digitalWrite(Buzzer, HIGH);
}else{
digitalWrite(Buzzer, LOW);
}

Mount the Laser Pointer and the Alarm Circuit to Form a Single Beam Tripwire

The simplest way to set up your alarm is as a single beam tripwire. In this configuration the laser pointer is mounted to one side of the walk way and the alarm circuit is mounted to the other. For the tripwire to work, the laser pointer needs to be constantly on. The easiest way to accomplish this is by tightly wrapping a piece of tape around the button.
