27. Glowing Of LED Using I/R
Sensor.
REQUIREMENTS:
Arduino UNO Board, Breadboard, LED, I/R Sensor,
Wire Interfaces.
THEORY:
Here we glow the LED using I/R sensor. In this when
our hand come closer towards the I/R sensor the
LED glows.

28. Step1: Connect the LED with arduino board and
breadboard.
Step2: Make the connection of wire between
arduino and breadboard.
Step3: Connect the LED with one pin of Arduino.
Step4: Connect the I/R sensor with arduino and
breadboard.
Step5: Connect the arduino with system.
Step6: Open the program in the arduino software.
Step7: Verify and upload the program and get the
output by placing your hand near the I/R Sensor.

29. Code-
int a=12;
int b=5;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(a, INPUT);
pinMode(b, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
int readsen=digitalRead(a);
if(readsen==HIGH)
{
digitalWrite(b, HIGH);
}
else
{
digitalWrite(b, !HIGH);
}
delay(1);
}

30. • Now its your turn do the same
practical with the use of any IOT
Platform.

31. Tasks to do-
• Make a system that sends mail to you
when the value of the sensor exceeds
the limit.(Hint-Explore Ubidots)
• Make a system that sends message
on your phone when the IR sensor
detects any presence.(Hint-Explore
Ubidots)
