Reflection:

This project seemed difficult and intimidating to begin with, but after completing the planning phase and thinking about the required components for the circuit, I felt more confident. Putting together the circuit from various Hackster projects was no problem. I learned a lot from putting together the code and integrating a counter. Overall, it was a fun project and is a good place to start in the world of hacking and IoT!

Sources:

For wiring and coding the PIR, I got started from the following sources:

https://www.hackster.io/falafel-software/pir-sensor-with-a-photon-particle-cloud-and-a-uwa-97e79b

The following project merged a PIR as well as a servo and was very helpful in getting started with the servo code:

I was inspired by the following source but did not end up using any of the code or circuits:

For my counter, I adapted code from Daragh Byrne.
