Need to connect a motion detector to a pc
Need to connect a motion detector to a pc
(OP)
I want to know how to connect a motion detector to a pc ?
Someone told me it can be done by welding wires on a serial 1 or rs232 port but i don't know witch pin to take. So if someone have an idea it will be nice :)
thanks

Try looking for "computer interface RS232 hardware" and you should find a ton of schematics out there. I hope you can read a schematic, solder, and program...

Regardless, it sounds like you don't have nearly enough knowledge to attempt such a project yet. Where do you connect to the motion detector's circuit? Is it an analog or digital signal? What kind of circuitry do you need between the PC and detector? What does the info mean to the computer? What do you do with that info?
A ton of questions you need to answer before working on such a project. You need to work on individual projects that are stand-alone... a computer program, some circuitry, comm interfaces, etc.... before trying to do it all at once.

If you received a degree in computer programming/engineering, I would assume you're intelligent enough to use Google for the basics. this site is intended for practicing engineers, but we're always willing to help if less-than-knowledgable people get in a jam. It seems like you have a lot of research to do before you're at the helpable point.
Spend some time on Google, and good luck!
