Motion Detector
This repository contains all the files I'll be producing during my first stab at building a motion sensor with an ESP8266 from scratch. The idea is to place it on my mailbox, and it will detect when people are at the door.
I will be designing a board for the whole thing, and will be sending it out to OSHPark for production (first try, let's see how it goes!).
Parts list
- ESP8266
- PIR motion sensor
- 2K resistor
- 2 Push buttons
- 1 x female JST (2 pins)
- 1 x female JST (3 pins)
- 3 male header pins
Construction
-
Order the board
Generate the Gerber files from the included Fritzing sketch, and send them out for production (I sent them to OSHPark). You can edit the sketch as needed, moving things around, re-routing, adding cool stuff to the silk screen...

Mount the components
-
Load the program into the ESP8266

Profit!
