Buzzer is always active

Projects General Guidance

Hello, I'm in need of assistance, I am trying to make a simple alarm with a PIR sensor and a passive buzzer, the wiring is perfectly fine, but for whatever reason, the sensor is always reading HIGH because as soon as the warmup timer finishes, the buzzer (which I named screech) is continually going, I verified this by changing the code to beeping when the sensor =low and it wouldn't beep, anyways, enough rambling, here is my code

int eye = 3;
int screech = 13;
int j;
int eyeread;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(screech, OUTPUT);
pinMode(eye, INPUT);
digitalWrite(screech, LOW);
}

void loop() {
eyeread = digitalRead(eye);
for (j = 0; j <= 60; j = j + 1) {
Serial.println(j);
delay(1000);
}
while (j = 60) {
digitalWrite(screech, LOW);
if (eyeread = LOW) {
digitalWrite(screech, HIGH);
tone(screech, 220);
delay(200);
tone(screech, 210);
delay(200);
tone(screech, 200);
delay(200);
tone(screech, 220);
delay(200);
tone(screech, 210);
delay(200);
tone(screech, 200);
delay(200);

}

}
}
best of luck to all of you

Perhaps you should consider doing something with "j", rather than leaving it set to 60 for ever.

After the correction, what is expected to happen here ?

while (j == 60) { . . . }

How is screech wired ?

5

after the 60 second warmup timer(j=60), it reads the sensor, if the sensor reads something it sets the buzzer off, the problem is the sensor is always reading HIGH, thusly setting the buzzer off after the countdown, screech is wired with a ground line and a wire to pin 13. Its a question of do i have the sensor programming wrong or am I wiring it wrong

Did you fix this?

while (j = 60) {

and this?

if (eyeread = LOW) {

In your while loop you are never re-reading the PIR sensor and therefore the value of eyeread will never change.

7

pinMode(eye, INPUT);

Try
pinMode(eye, INPUT_PULLUP);

8

Your code is confusing assignment with equality.

how do I fix it, do I remove the while loop?

it is now functioning properly, turns out the pir sensor, calibrates itself, thanks for the help!!
