Software Projects
Raspberry Pi Motion Detection System
A hardware/software integration project using Raspberry Pi and a PIR motion sensor to detect motion and trigger local responses such as LED or buzzer alerts through script-based control.
Tech Stack
Raspberry PiPIR SensorPythonShell ScriptLinuxIoT
Problem / Challenge
The project connected physical sensor input with software logic, which requires both wiring awareness and reliable script behavior.
Approach
The system reads motion input from a PIR sensor and triggers a simple response through Raspberry Pi-controlled output, using script-based logic in a Linux environment.
Key Features
- Raspberry Pi hardware setup
- PIR motion sensor input
- Motion-triggered LED/buzzer response
- Script-based hardware control
- Linux and Raspberry Pi environment practice
- Hardware/software integration learning
Outcome
The project helped me understand the basics of IoT-style integration, where hardware signals and software behavior need to work together.
What I Learned
- How sensor input maps to software-triggered actions
- How Raspberry Pi projects combine wiring, Linux, and scripts
- How to debug simple hardware/software behavior
