Intruder Security Alarm using Vibration Sensor

Introduction

In today’s tutorial, I will show you how to make an Intruder security alarm using a vibration sensor and Attiny85. You can implement this system in your vehicles so as any intruder or someone tries to sit on your bike, it will create some vibration and the alarm will start buzzing with flashing led.

Working of Intruder security Alarm

In this project, we will connect the vibration sensor to the Digispark Attiny85. When there is no vibration, the output of the vibration sensor is 0 (low voltage), Else the output is 1 (High Voltage). If Attiny85 gets 1 output from the vibration sensor, it will turn on Buzzer and LED.


Components Required

So let’s get started making Intruder security Alarm using a vibration sensor. To make this system more compact, I am using Digispark Attiny85. Following are the lists of all the components that are required for building this project.

Interface Vibration Sensor, Buzzer, & LED with Attiny85

Now. let’s learn to interface Vibration sensors, Buzzer, & LED with Digispark Attiny85.

I assemble the circuit in a breadboard, but you can order a custom PCB from pcbway.com. It is one of the most trusted PCB and PCB assembly manufacturers. They produce high-quality PCBs at a reasonable price, only $5 for 10 PCBs and $30 for 20 PCB assembly. Besides, new members also receive a $5 bonus.

The circuit connection is fairly simple. Connect the Ground pin of the Vibration sensor, buzzer, and LED to the GND pin of Attiny85. Now, connect the VCC pin of the vibration sensor to the 5Volt pin. Similarly, D0 (signal) pin to P2 pin of Attiny85. Lastly, connect the buzzer positive pin to P3 and the LED positive pin to the P1 pin of Digispark Attiny85. You can follow the schematics and table below to assemble the circuit.

Program code

I will explain each and every step of the program code so that it will help you to understand and modify it according to your requirements. First, we defined the variable “Buzz” for the buzzer, “vs” for vibration sensor, and “LED” for Red LED with their interfaced pin with Attiny85. 

int Buzz = 3; //Buzzer
int LED = 1;  //LED
int vs =2; // vibration sensor
int i=0;

In a void setup, we have defined the pinMode function for all the components

void setup(){
  pinMode(Buzz, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(vs, INPUT); 
}

Here, in a loop, the program reads the data from the vibration sensor, if there a vibration the result is High. In this condition, Buzzer and LED are turned ON.

void loop(){
int vib = digitalRead(vs);
  if(vib == HIGH)
  {
    for(i=0;i<10;i++)
    {
    digitalWrite(Buzz, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
    delay(500);
    digitalWrite(Buzz, LOW); 
    digitalWrite(LED, LOW); 
    delay(100);
  }
  }

Else the buzzer and LED remains in an OFF state

else{
    digitalWrite(Buzz, LOW);
    digitalWrite(LED, LOW); 
  }
}
