Wiring Everything Together

During the final set-up there were several extra features that were added to the structure, many of them are small details, but will add to the final presentation.

The first details was to drill holes in position that the wires from the PIR detectors can be run through, meaning that the wires are not exposed. Once all of the wires had been put in place, and wired in, I used cable ties to tie the wires from each PIR detector together, making the appearance neater and also will mean that organizing the equipment on top of the structure will be easier, as there want be as many loose wires.

Once everything was was wired into place, I decided to attach all of the components to a board, which could then be bolted to the mains structure, meaning that nothing would move during the presentation, helping to improve the health and safety.





The PIR detectors come with a LED fitted which turns on when the sensors detect movement, enabling it to be seen when the sensors on. Although this was useful during testing, I wanted to remove the LEDs, so that the LED did not ruin the effect during the presentation. Fortunately, this can be easily done as each detector has a switch enabling them to be turned off.
