Pir to to turn simple motor on and off. .

Hi ,

I am new to all this with some limited electronics experience.

I have an automatic spray bottle with trigger (5.6v 100Ma power supply) that I want to make spray when PIR is triggered. (Pet issues)

I have a UNO board andParalax PIR. What else would i need to make this happen? I am assuming a relay of sort.

I used this tutorial as a start. Of course this is with buzzer. PIR Sensor Arduino Alarm | Make:

Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance,

I am new to this.

as simple as using a transistor on a digital out pin, (digitalWrite, delay(1000); digitalWrite)

Would you mind elaborating on this and how it would work please?

Sorry, I need you to dumb it down a bit.

Thanks

Hi,
Maybe start with "Arduino Power" on the ArduinoInfo.Info WIKI HERE: (Right Menu)

Relay boards are cheap and easy.

Excellent.

Thanks a bunch

Basically you would use the pin that switches the buzzer to be at the base of a transistor. All that will do is "tickle" the transistor and switch it off and on. That means it will switch the current in the other 2 legs of the transistor off an on: that will be the voltage supply to the motor.

So when the buzzer would make a noise now, instaed the transistor will switch the supply the motor on.
