I'm new to this forum, and I'm a Computer Engineer who recently have a lot of passion for circuits.

Can anyone help me with a Ultrasonic Radar with can be worked in unison with my Computer to detect any movement.

Thankyou all for helping me in advance

These guys make a some kits for robotics
This device is an ultra sound range detector, to make a real radar you would also want to add a motor to rotate it and some way of measuring where it was pointing.

http://www.heathkit.com/ and http://www.vellemanusa.com/us/enu/product/list/?id=523008 are also a good source of kits for robotics type things
