I wonder if detect, disarm, arm gives some traps Experience both for the character?
If yes, how to set the amount of experience of each trap.

You can create a trap as an NPC and so you can fill in the xp and challenge rating just like you would for any NPC. And the trap can then be placed on the Combat Tracker to automate any saving throws or damage etc.

The 5e rules don't have any specific guidelines that I've seen for giving out xp for traps, either for detecting or disarming them but as the omnipotent DM you can do so. :)

Thank Zacchaeus
I set the traps as personalities (NPC) and the XP will refer to the table of DMG and then I find a set for the trap (for her to be in inderida CT) and make things easier.

I think its a class skill and should be rewarded with XP.

Buying pizza for the DM counts for XP.

I did so defined as CR 1 (200 XP (50 XP for each player)).
And I have made all set targets because I know that those who pass the test are excluded from the damage.

Itīs right the way I had made the trap as encounter?

Yes, that's the way I do it. That way you can have the tokens pre-placed on the map and when you click the encounter it places the tokens and adds the trap to the CT. This way all of your set up will work such as saving throws damage etc.

Yeah, this is about how I would do it.

I add various things to the CT all the time in a pinch.

Any object that might need to be bashed, smashed or destroyed gets an AC and HP and placed in the CT, so players can target it and FG can automate all the dice rolls, etc. I also give the object certain damage immunities and resistances as need be. For instance, a wooden door is immune to psychic damage, and resistant to piercing, but depending on the door, may be vulnerable to bludgeoning and fire.
