While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

A motion sensor activates the light when it detects something moving within its field of view. Photocells work with a resistor that changes its conductivity based on how many photons are hitting it.

Even though Attiny85 is fitting here, I opted for Digispark just because of its plethora of features like USB programming interface, on-board voltage regulator, and Arduino IDE compatibility. The code ...

Fortunately, Arduino boards are programmable from a Linux, Mac or Windows machine, using an integrated development environment (IDE), downloadable from here, or from the Arduino web editor.
