Burglar Alarm with ESP32-C5 and PIR Sensor

Connecting PIR Sensor with ESP32

We will connect the HC-SR501 PIR sensor to the ESP32-C5 as shown below. The sensor is powered from the 5V pin, while its OUT signal is connected to GPIO 10. Whenever motion is detected, the sensor outputs a HIGH signal on GPIO 10.

Buzzer Pin Connection:

We will connect the positive pin of the buzzer to GPIO 24, while the negative pin connects to GND. This allows us to control the buzzer and produce a sound when motion is detected.
