Learn how to build a real-time motion detection system using Arduino and Python— complete with data logging
Want to build a smart system that reacts to movement in real-time?
This course is your hands-on guide to creating a motion detector system that blends the hardware power of Arduino with the software flexibility of Python. You'll learn to detect motion with sensors, log activity to your computer, and even trigger alerts—all using simple, yet scalable code.
Whether you’re into home security, automation, or want a powerful Arduino-Python integration project for your portfolio, this course delivers the skills and tools to make it happen.
Why Arduino + Python?
Arduino gives you reliable, low-level hardware interaction. Python lets you process data, log events, and build interactive interfaces. Combining both gives you full-stack control—hardware to desktop.
This course teaches:
How to use a PIR motion sensor with Arduino
How to send motion data from Arduino to Python
How to log data and trigger real-time alerts on your PC
What You Will Learn
Setting up and wiring a PIR motion sensor with Arduino
Writing Arduino code to detect and report motion events
Establishing serial communication between Arduino and Python
Creating a Python script to read data from Arduino
Logging events with timestamps and custom messages
Building a simple notification or alert system in Python
Customizing the detection range and sensitivity (hardware & software)
Real-world use: security system, presence monitor, automation trigger
What You’ll Build
A fully functional Arduino-powered motion detector
A Python-based desktop dashboard that receives live data
A real-time alert system for motion detection
A motion activity log with timestamps saved to a local file
Who This Course Is For
Beginners wanting a practical, fun, and useful Arduino + Python project
Engineering and computer science students
DIYers and tech enthusiasts building smart home systems
Anyone curious about hardware-software integration
