I am using 5 ultrasonic motion detectors. I want to be able to construct an alarm circuit with some catches. The ultrasonics will output 5V when there is something in the way. I need help with a circuit that will output different voltages depending on which motion detector goes off. The only way I could think of doing this is to have 5 inputs and 5 outputs. If the detector goes off, the corresponding output will go high. I can then use voltage regulator, FET, and resistors to get the different output voltages I need. Can this happen? Is there a way to do it with IC's? Is this possible with a PIC? I am at a loss. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Other notes: I am using the common ultrasonic motion detector kit that you can find on every circuit website. I has a latch on and an auto reset. This also adds to my dilemma. I don't off hand know how to reset the detectors once they latch on. I know I am going to have to do this because I only want one detector on at a time.
Thanks.
