Based on previous week, I had a problem with my PIR sensors because they have trimpot on the back for adjusting sensitivity and timer. I need to adjust the sensitivity of my sensor in order to get the proper result, and it's quite complicated for me to get the results. So i think need to change the sensor that have similar function likes PIR sensor.

After I did some research on the sensor, I think ultrasonic sensor have the same functions with the PIR sensor because it also can detect the motion based on signal receive by echoe from the respective object by sending the sound wave of specific frequency. This sound wave is reflected after the collision with respective object and this wave is received by the ultra-sonic receiver.

There are four major different types of ultrasonic sensors are currently in used,

Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors
Ultrasonic 2 Point Proximity Switches
Ultrasonic Retro-reflective Sensors
Ultrasonic Through Beam Sensors

I think Ultrasonic Retro-reflective Sensors very suitable for my project because the distance between the sensor to reflector is measured by measuring the propagation time. In this sensor, the stationary object could be used as a reflector and sensing distance (SD) could be adjust by adjusting the potentiometer resistance with in ultrasonic sensor. Its working is so much simple, when any object comes with in sensing distance then its propagation time is changed and by changing this propagation time, the sensor has switched into active mod.

Advantages of Ultrasonic sensor :

The ultrasonic sensor has high frequency, high sensitivity and high penetrating power therefore it can easily detect the external or deep objects.
These sensors easily interface with microcontroller or any type of controller
These sensors have greater accuracy then other methods for measuring the thickness and depth of parallel surface.
These sensors could easily sense the nature, shape and orientation of that specific objects which is within the area of these sensors.
There sensors are easy to use, not dangerous during operation for nearby objects, person, equipment or material

Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera.

For this week, i have installed software Arduino to create database. The Arduino Uno is programmed using the Arduino Software (IDE), the Integrated Development Environment common to all the boards and running both online and offline. There are many ways to install this software server and associated programs. Here are the steps that i did to install it to my computer:

first, i installed the Arduino Desktop IDE at the website for used it during offline. Means, i can create and test databases and code without needing to upload files to live server all the time.

then, connected the Uno board with an A B USB cable; sometimes this cable is called a USB printer cable

the Uno automatically draw power from either the USB or an external power supply. The board that connected to my computer using the USB cable, can appears the green power LED (labelled PWR).

because i used the Installer, Windows - from XP up to 10 - so the install drivers automatically when i connected to the board.

*if you downloaded and expanded the Zip package or, for some reason, the board wasn't properly recognized, please follow the procedure below:

Click on the Start Menu, and open up the Control Panel.
While in the Control Panel, navigate to System and Security. Next, click on System. Once the System window is up, open the Device Manager.
Look under Ports (COM & LPT). You should see an open port named "Arduino UNO (COMxx)". If there is no COM & LPT section, look under "Other Devices" for "Unknown Device".
Right click on the "Arduino UNO (COmxx)" port and choose the "Update Driver Software" option.
Next, choose the "Browse my computer for Driver software" option.
Finally, navigate to and select the driver file named "arduino.inf", located in the "Drivers" folder of the Arduino Software download (not the "FTDI USB Drivers" sub-directory). If you are using an old version of the IDE (1.0.3 or older), choose the Uno driver file named "Arduino UNO.inf"
Windows will finish up the driver installation from there.
