Simulation of Motion Activated Staircase Lighting with PIR Sensor

"Welcome back! Today, I have an exciting project for you. We'll be simulating a Motion-Activated Staircase Lighting system using Tinkercad. This project is not only fun to build but also incredibly practical, ensuring safety and energy efficiency in your home."
The primary purpose of automatic staircase lighting is to improve safety. Staircases can be hazardous, especially in dimly lit areas. Automatic lighting ensures that the stairs are well-lit when someone approaches, reducing the risk of tripping and falling.
Automatic staircase lighting can be designed with motion sensors or light sensors to activate only when needed. This energy-efficient feature ensures that the lights are on only when someone is on the stairs, reducing electricity consumption and lowering energy bills.
A PIR sensor, which stands for Passive Infrared Sensor, is a motion-detection technology that has numerous practical applications. It operates based on the principle that all objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit infrared radiation, including humans. The magic happens when an object, like a person, enters the sensor's field of view. As the person moves, their body heat radiates infrared energy. The pyroelectric sensors detect these changes in infrared radiation. These changes are then converted into electrical signals. If the electrical signals surpass a certain threshold, the PIR sensor activates an output signal.
