Hey Guys! Glad to see you here. I welcome you on board. In this tutorial today, I’m going to share Analog PIR Sensor Library for Proteus. We have already shared digital PIR Sensor Library for Proteus. If you don’t know what is PIR sensor, you must read this post first where I’ve briefly discussed what is PIR sensor and why it is used.
PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) also known as a motion sensor, is used to detect motion using infrared rays. It is used in banks for security purposes. It can detect the presence of a person by identifying their motion inside. Similarly, it is used in home automation where it detects the movement in the room, giving a signal we need to turn on the light because there is someone in the room. And when there is no motion detected, it turns off the light.
Analog PIR Sensor Library for Proteus is not available in the Proteus Library Database, and I’m sharing it, the very first time. If you’re a regular reader of our blog, you might have read the new libraries we had shared previously, if you haven’t, you can first have a look at Arduino Library for Proteus where you’ll get a hold of simulation of Arduino Board in Proteus. Moreover, check the Ultrasonic Sensor Library for Proteus that’s another sensor.
If you love working with GPS and Xbee, you can read this GPS Module Library for Proteus and Xbee Library for Proteus. I’ll be sharing both: simple simulation in proteus and simulation of PIR sensor with Arduino Board. Besides Arduino Boards, you can also interface this analog PIR sensor with PIC and 8051 microcontrollers.
I hope we are going in the right direction and helping you whet your appetite with brand new proteus libraries. If you feel, we are missing something important that must be included in the proteus library, share your valuable suggestion in the section below. If you’re new to proteus software, check this post on how to download and install proteus software. Let’s discuss Analog PIR Sensor Library for Proteus. Keep reading.
Analog PIR Sensor Library for Proteus
Click the link given below and download Analog PIR Sensor Library for Proteus.
As you download the library, it comes with four files that are:
- PIRSensorAnalogTEP.HEX
- PIRSensorTEP.HEX
- PIRSensorTEP.IDX
- PIRSensorTEP
Now copy all these files mentioned above and place them into the library folder of your Proteus software.
- Click ‘P’ (Pick from Libraries) as below and search for the PIR sensor analog.
- It will pop up four files of the PIR analog sensor as mentioned below.
- Place all these four files in the proteus workspace. As you place them, it will appear as follows:
-
- I have added four PIR Analog Sensor files in the proteus workspace that you can use as you like better.
- These sensors are the same in terms of working but they all come in different colors just to make them attractive.
- The first one appears in berylline color, the second one is green, the third is red and the fourth one is blue.
PIR analog sensor contains four pins as follow:
- Vcc = this is a voltage supply pin where we apply 5V to power the sensor
- O = second is the OUT pin where we get the output of the PIR sensor indicating whether or not this PIR sensor has detected the motion.
- G = third is the ground pin which is attached to ground voltage.
- TestPin = forth is TestPin we need to add in Proteus simulation only. You won’t find this pin mounted on the sensor in real. We have to add this pin because without this pin we cannot detect the motion in proteus simulation. When this TestPin is HIGH it shows the motion is detected and when it is LOW it shows no movement.
After adding these four files in the proteus workspace, we need to include the HEX file in the PIR sensor. You will find this PIRSensorAnalogTEP.HEX file in the library folder of your Proteus software.
- You can add the HEX file in two ways. Right-click the sensor and look for ‘edit properties’ or double click the analog sensor.
- Now look for HEX file that you have pasted in the library folder as below.
-
- After adding this file, click ‘OK’ … now you’re done. You’ve added the HEX in the analog PIR sensor. You can now use this PIR sensor simulation in proteus.
- We’ll design and attach a simple LC circuit with this PIR sensor to understand the working and simulation of the library of this sensor.
Attach the sensor’s analog output pin (O) with the LC circuit through a voltmeter using a voltmeter. Ground (G) pin and apply 5V to the (Vcc) voltage supply pin. Now connect the variable resistor with the TestPin that will help identify the motion in the surrounding.
The value of this variable resistor is related to the voltage appearing across voltmeter. When resistance is 100% the voltage appearing on voltmeter will be zero that shows no motion detection and when resistance is 0% the voltage value across a voltmeter will be 4.97V as below, indicating the presence of motion. Both output voltage and resistance are inversely related to each other.
- We need to design and connect this LC circuit with the PIR sensor due to the peak to peak value we receive on proteus. This peak to peak value needs to be converted into Vrms using this LC circuit.
This is it. This is the proteus simulation of the PIR analog sensor. We treasure to announce we’ve added this new library in the proteus database the very first time.
PIR Analog Sensor with Arduino UNO
- It’s time to connect the PIR Analog Sensor with the Arduino Board.
- To do this, we’ll connect the output voltage we get on the voltmeter with the analog input pin of the Arduino board.
- You should also have a look at PIR Arduino Interfacing.
- When resistance is maximum, the voltage will be zero, thus giving equivalent analog value 0019 and when resistance is zero, the voltage across voltmeter is 4.98V and gives equivalent 1019 analog value on the LCD attached with the Arduino Board.
- You can download LCD Library for Proteus, which I have used in above simulation.
This is it for today. Hope you find this tutorial helpful. If you’re unsure or have any question, you can pop your comment in the section below, I’ll help you the best way I can. Thank you for reading this article.
