PIR ON RASPBERRY PI

PASSIVE INFRARED MOTION SENSOR (PIR)

Humans and other animals emit radiation all the time. This is nothing to be concerned about, though, as the type of radiation we emit is infrared radiation (IR), which is pretty harmless at the levels emitted by humans. In fact, all objects above absolute zero (-273.15C) emit IR radiation.
A PIR sensor detects changes in the amount of IR radiation it receives. When there is a significant change in the amount of IR radiation it detects, then a pulse is triggered. This means that a PIR sensor can detect when a human (or any animal) moves in front of it.

WIRING A PIR SENSOR

The pulse emitted when a PIR detects motion needs to be amplified, and so it needs to be powered. There are three pins on the PIR; they should be labelled Vcc, Gnd, and Out. If these labels aren't clear, they are sometimes concealed beneath the Fresnel lens (the white cap), which you can temporarily remove to see the pin labels.
wiring
  1. As shown above, the Vcc pin needs attaching to a 5V pin on the Raspberry Pi.
  2. The Gnd pin on the PIR sensor can be attached to any ground pin on the Raspberry Pi.
  3. Lastly, the Out pin needs to be connected to any of the GPIO pins.

DETECTING MOTION

You can detect motion with the PIR using the code below:
from gpiozero import MotionSensor

pir = MotionSensor(4)

while True:
    if pir.motion_detected:
        print("You moved")

A SHOULDER SURFING RESISTANT GRAPHICAL AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

A SHOULDER SURFING RESISTANT GRAPHICAL AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT Authentication based on passwords is used largely in applications for computer security and privacy. However, human actions such as choosing bad passwords and inputting passwords in an insecure way are regarded as”the weakest link” in the authentication chain. Rather than arbitrary alphanumeric strings, users tend to choose passwords either short or meaningful for easy memorization. With web applications and mobile apps piling up, people can access these applications anytime and anywhere with various devices. This evolution brings great convenience but also increases the probability of exposing passwords to shoulder surfing attacks. Attackers can observe directly or use external recording devices to collect users’ credentials. To overcome this problem, we proposed a novel authentication system PassMatrix, based on graphical passwords to resist shoulder surfing attacks. With a one-time valid login indicator and ...

ABSTRACT

MULTI USER GSM BASED DIGITAL SCROLLING LED DISPLAY WITH PASSWORD AND VOICE ABSTRACT The project mainly focuses on transmission of textual data through air interface by the use of GSM through asynchronous serial communication. The data will be processed by the microcontroller it programmed by embedded c language by using KEIL C compiler. The data will be displayed on led display on LED only after entering unique pass key. Existing System: How a reliable and an authentic wireless communication could be easily developed between a mobile phone and microcontroller using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) MODEM (Modulator-Demodulator). This technical paper explains GSM based e-notice board which can be widely used for multitude of applications including educational sector, traffic control, banks, and public advertisements, stoke exchanges etc. Proposed System: In this project we not only send the data, but send the data with pass code also. Which enables us to preve...
