TINKER PIEDESIGN IN INDIA

Intruder alarm

A PIR motion sensor sees someone moving: red flashes and a siren.

Open in TinkerPie Studio

What you need

Wiring

PIR HC-SR501: OUT → S1, VCC → 5 V of the S1 port, GND → GND.

Step by step

  1. Open Intruder alarm in TinkerPie Studio. It opens as blocks.
  2. Wire it: PIR HC-SR501: OUT → S1, VCC → 5 V of the S1 port, GND → GND.
  3. Press Run to try it in the simulator. Use the sliders and buttons under the board picture to test it.
  4. Connect TinkerPie with a USB-C cable in Chrome or Edge, press Connect, then Download. Or, with Studio started from the TinkerPie launcher on your computer, open the Arduino C++ tab and press Build & Flash.
  5. Change something: a colour, a number, a sound. Then run it again.

The code

This is the program the blocks make. The same program runs in the simulator and on the board.

JavaScript
basic.forever(function () {
  if (sensors.pirMotion(Pin.S1)) {
    led.fill(Colors.Red);
    music.playTone(1760, 200);
    basic.clearScreen();
    music.playTone(1320, 200);
  } else {
    basic.clearScreen();
  }
  basic.pause(100);
});
Arduino C++ (TinkerPie library)
// Intruder alarm
// Arduino C++ made by TinkerPie Studio from the blocks. Board: TinkerPie V1 (ESP32-S3).
// Arduino IDE: install the TinkerPie library (Studio menu > Arduino library), then Tools > Board > ESP32S3 Dev Module,
// USB CDC On Boot: Enabled, Flash Size: 16MB, Partition Scheme: 16M Flash (3MB APP/9.9MB FATFS), PSRAM: OPI PSRAM.
#include <TinkerPie.h>
using namespace tinkerpie;

void setup() {
  tinkerpie::begin();
  basic::forever([]() {
    if (sensors::pirMotion(Pin::S1)) {
      led::fill(Colors::Red);
      music::playTone(1760, 200);
      basic::clearScreen();
      music::playTone(1320, 200);
    } else {
      basic::clearScreen();
    }
    basic::pause(100);
  });
}

void loop() {
  tinkerpie::loop();   // runs the forever blocks and handles events
}
