My First Project

Hi

I am just starting out in this whole field and I am looking for some
help. I would like to try to complete a simple project which will be
the foundation for a slightly more complicated project.

All I want to do is make a light(LED) go on when a motion sensor(IR -
PIR? Seems to be cheap and cheap is good) detects movement. If anyone
can point me in the direction of a tutorial or tell me what kind of
parts I need to get etc(obviously motion sensor + light <?led?>+ power
+ other stuff?)I would appreciate it. I have tried to find tutorials on
Google but have been unsuccessful, this may be because I am new to this
field and I don't know the "lingo" so I don't really know what to
Google.

Any help that anyone can offer will be appreciated.


Thank you

this into a circut board ....i have to do all the extra Fresnel lense

an easier project...
