I am new the Arduino environment. I have installed the Arduiono IDE today and work like o go ahead with creating a project of my own. This is for a PIR sensor output reading. Please help me assuming that I have no idea what are different components to install before creating the project and how to create a sample project.
Thanks
Have you tried looking for Arduino and PIR examples? That is where I would start.
Being new it's best to find a few of the tutorials online first to get to know the basics.
I'm still going through them myself.
I've found a good couple of Arduino on YouTube by Jeremy Blum and mjlorton. Take a look at their playlists for the Arduino and work through those first.
Like you I have a project I want to do but you need to learn to walk before you can run, so working at both of these side by side is gathering me the knowledge of what to do with my project and knowing partly on what people are talking about as I start to find answers.
Start by studying some of the many examples that come with the Arduino IDE. Some are likely to be close to what you want to do.
Then make a copy of some of the examples and try your hand at modifying them.
After that try writing a simple program from scratch.
When you are comfortable with all of that (which should not take too long) you can find out more info about using the parts your project requires.
