Hello again, by the way I was starting to research these chips the PIC12f675 and the lm358 ic, it looks like the IC is only 30 volts or less and the pic chip needs to be programed-am I correct?
The PIC is 5V and the LM358 opa is about 30V.
The PIC needs a program.
My application is to turn on under counter lights in a kitchen (110 volt) as you enter the kitchen, then turn off as you leave. It would be nice to include this circuit in other places, when you first enter a garage, enter a doorway, at the beginning and end of a hallway, etc.
I have not messed around with electronics for several years, so getting back into it now would be nice to start with basic circuits and plans.
I was referring to your first post, maybe I read it wrong, the:
Most common proximity sensors are ultrasonic or passive infrared [PIR]
You can buy low cost PIR's, that can switch upto 2000W of lighting.
I thought there were 2 types that may fit what I was trying to accomplish-
The two common types are ultrasonic sound sensors and passive infra red which detect body heat.
