Hi all,


I am doing a sensor project. I'm used LDR to detect the sunlight and Ir sensor to detect the movement of the human body..

I have 2 conditions in order to ON the LED.
First: LDR must detect the room is dark
Second: Ir sensor detect the user
Result: Counter increase the number of user + ON the LED.

LDR detect the room is dark + Ir sensor detect the user --> Counter increase ( cnt++) -->= ON the light.
Otherwise,

LDR detect the room is light + Ir sensor detect the user --> Counter ++, but the light still OFF.


Then, to exit the room...

Led ON --> user pass by the sensor+press the exit button+count-- (if count == 0 --> OFF the light.


But, i have a problem... i'm using the coding below...
Hope someone can help me on this coding.


Tq.

Hi iZaty,
I think from reading your explanation that you wanna to Turn the light ON when there is/are user(s) and the room is light , So you don't have to use the Cnt.
Just when detecting user(s) by the IR sensor, check the LDR status , if the LDR sens that the room is lighting Turn the light ON otherwise stay the room light OFF.

Otherwise Turn OFF the room light if the IR sensor does not detect any user in the area.

But if u wanna to know how many users are in the room and Turn the room ON and display the users number, you have to use two sensors but not IR sensor to detect the user direction (enter or Exit) not by using exit button
