Motion Controlled Lamp With A Tessel – Start Your Robot

Basically a lamp I bought had broken but was stuck in the on position so I attached a motion detection sensor to it so the lamp would turn on when I walked in the room.  In this project I used a Tessel, motion detection sensor (PIR), and the relay module to hook it all together.

Getting Started

1. Attach relay module to the lamp in question.
2. Plug the relay module into your tessel's slot A.
3. Plug the PIR motion sensor into your tessel's GPIO bank. (See diagram below)
4. npm install
5. tessel run index.js
