Place the tub near a doorway, and place the laser pointer on the other side, with its beam shining into the straw. Finally, we use a never-ending while True: loop to continually display the current value of the light sensed by the LDR, which ranges from 0 to 1. Make sure you align them properly, otherwise your alarm will start beeping as soon as you upload the code.

As a result, they can be used in situations where physical barriers would be difficult or inappropriate, such as open fields or large outdoor areas. The Ghost Hunting Doorway Alarm Tripwire can be used during investigations as a trigger when activity is provoked by the User, Medium or Seance. One 10 degree narrow beam LED might do the same distance as a dozen or more unspecified wide-angle remote control or security camera floodlight LEDs. Despite the fact that security systems have evolved tremendously, it is always a good idea to constantly seek out new and innovative ways to keep our surroundings safe. I am planning on using a 555 or Arduino Nano to pulse an IR led at 38kHz and I will have another Arduino detecting this with an IR receiver.

TIP: If your LED is not lighting up, use a multimeter to check the resistance of the photoresistor with the laser diode shining on it and with the beam broken. For the repeating loop, I wrote an IF/ELSE statement that continuously polls the photoresistor digital input. Detecting the laser can be tricky with a small target like an LDR or an IR receiver, if either end gets bumped. Although the author used a “modified” laser diode lifted from his cheap laser pointer, you can use any (suitable) readymade laser diode module/card available from reputed online/offline components vendors.

NextPCB is one of the most experienced PCB manufacturers in Global and has specialized in the PCB and assembly industry for over 15 years.If you want to build your own Daytripper, the firmware and hardware are both available on GitHub under an MIT license. Laser trip wire alarms are becoming increasingly popular since they can detect intruders without the use of physical barriers. This step is optional, but I chose to give the pins descriptive names so they are easy to remember and track. If you enjoyed making this project, then you can find many more GPIO Zero guides in our GPIO Zero Essentials book! Finally, laser trip wire alarms are a versatile and effective tool for safeguarding valuables and identifying intruders.
