PIR Motion Sensor (JST)
PIR Motion Sensor (JST)
This is a simple to use motion sensor. Power it up
and wait 1-2 seconds for the sensor to get a snapshot of the still room.
If anything moves after that period, the 'alarm' pin will go low.
This unit works great from 5 to 12V (datasheet shows 12V). You can
also install a jumper wire past the 5V regulator on board to make this
unit work at 3.3V. Sensor uses 1.6mA@3.3V.
The alarm pin is an open collector
meaning you will need a pull up resistor on the alarm pin. The open
drain setup allows multiple motion sensors to be connected on a single
input pin. If any of the motion sensors go off, the input pin will be
pulled low.
We've finally updated the connector! Gone is the old "odd" connector,
now you will find a common 3-pin JST! This makes the PIR Sensor much
more accessible for whatever your project may need. Red = Power, White =
Ground, and Black = Alarm.
