+== Materials Needed\\
+
+a. For this project you will need to use the TinkerCAD software as the PIR sensor is not included in the Arduino kit that you have physically.\\
+
+b. You will need a PIR sensor, an Arduino, an LED, and a resistor.\\
+
+== Steps\\
+
+[[Image()]]
+
+a. Let’s start with an LED, and connect the anode side of the LED to a resistor, typically with a resistance of 370 to 500 ohms.\\
+
+b. Connect the resistor to digital pin 13.\\
+
+c. Connect the cathode side of the LED to the GND of the Arduino.\\
+
+d. Then, take out a PIR sensor, and connect the left pin (signal pin) to digital pin 2.\\
+
+e. Then, connect the middle pin (power pin) to the 5v pin on the Arduino.\\
+
+f. Next, connect the right pin (ground pin) to the GND of the Arduino.\\
+
+g. Lastly, copy and paste this code into the code section with the blocks option changed to text.\\
+
+h. You can then run the simulation, press the PIR sensor, and move the circle around to see what happens.\\
+
+Code:\\
+
+const int LED1=13;\\
+
+const int PIRinput=2;\\
+
+void setup()\\
+
+{\\
+
+  pinMode(LED1, OUTPUT);\\
+
+  pinMode(PIRinput,INPUT);\\
+
+  Serial.begin(9600);\\
+
+}\\
+
+
+void loop()\\
+
+{\\
+
+  Serial.println(digitalRead(PIRinput));\\
+
+  if (digitalRead(PIRinput) == 1){\\
+
+    digitalWrite(LED1,HIGH);\\
+
+  }\\
+
+  if (digitalRead(PIRinput) == 0){\\
+
+    digitalWrite(LED1,LOW);\\
+
+  }\\
+
+}\\
+
+
+== Explanation of how it works\\
+
+a. The LED is used to indicate when the ball (which represents an object) moves.\\
+
+b. The Arduino knows when to turn on the LED because of the PIR sensor that detects motion.\\
+
+c. The PIR sensor sends a signal through the signal pin to the Arduino, which makes the Arduino know that the PIR sensor saw something move.\\
+
+d. The Arduino then uses that information to turn on the LED.\\
+
+e. You will find that many sensors are wired in a similar fashion, with 2 pins dedicated for power (5v and GND/ground), and the other pins are used for transmitting information between the sensor and the Arduino. An example of a sensor that is wired similarly to the PIR sensor is the ultrasonic sensor, which you will get to work with during the electrical meets as a project.
