- Working Voltage : 5V(DC) Startup Time: 2 Seconds to get a measure on room volume
- Left Knob: Controls output latch delay (Between left-most 2 and right-most 300 seconds)
- Right Knob: Controls center of best detection (Between left-most 3M and right-most 7M)
- Out Pin: High means the environment has changed (intruder, dog, etc...) Low means it will keep checking.
- Covered by our 90 day 100% satisfaction guarentee!
Get the top PIR motion sensor for hobby electronics projects!
The obvious choice for Arduino and othe Microcontroller systems
Imagine for a moment that your sole purpose in life was to watch and wait for changes in the environment. Imagine spending every waking moment measuring, and calculating the occupied volume of your surroundings. Imagine your hopes and dreams hanging by the thread of a chance that something... anything will change the measured volume of your room.
Now if that sounds horribly boring and tedious to you too, than we just might have the sensor for you. That is to say if you would rather something else take on the burden, but of course if that sounded awesome you could choose instead to dedicate your life to this purpose. If it's all the same we usually lean towards putting one of our handy PIR Motion Sensors into action.

 Great, low cost sensor, November 5, 2012
This review is from: Virtuabotix PIR Motion Sensor for Microcontrollers & other Electronic Projects
I purchased this sensor for use with an Arduino and it works really well with it.....BUT, you don't need an Arduino for this to be effective. You can adjust this sensor for sensitivity as well as the latch timing, meaning you can use this without any kind of micro-controller. It gives a "high" state when something/someone comes close and it can drive lights or buzzer, open the shutter on a camera, start a motor or whatever just using a relay or transistor. Great product.

motion sensing trigger, January 26, 2013
This review is from: Virtuabotix PIR Motion Sensor for Microcontrollers & other Electronic Projects
Delivery from Virtuabotix was quick and secure. Item was well-packed in an antistatic bag with basic instructions included.
I did not need to download any new libraries. In fact, the sample code that comes with this sensor is only a few lines. The sensor has three pins as described in other reviews and it's about as simple to connect to an Arduino as anything could be. Physically it's thick, so if you've got a proto board or something similar, it's not going to fit just anywhere. I managed to hang it off of one corner with the three pins inserted into three separate rows. It works but it's not elegant.
Without a lot of information, I just set about twiddling the two pots on the thing to figure out what they did and found it fairly easy to adjust the sensing range and the time the signal holds high (at least, I think that's what I was adjusting). Right now it's sitting on my desktop lighting up a green LED whenever someone steps into range.
Documentation is scarce but can be found with some searching. I'll try to squeeze the online location of a data sheet past the autobots below. Just get rid of the dashes and change "slash" to a real '/' and crunch it together to see the complete address:
h dash t dash t dash p:// dash cdn. dash openimpulse. dash com
slash blog slash wp-content slash uploads slash wpsc slash downloadables slash DYP-ME003_PIR_Sensor_Module_Datasheet.pdf
If you can't see the address above, that means the autobots have stripped out the URL anyway. Just search on DYP-ME003 PIR Sensor and you should find the datasheet somewhere. Good luck. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

 works but slightly misleading, January 27, 2013
This review is from: Virtuabotix PIR Motion Sensor for Microcontrollers & other Electronic Projects
Pros:
Tiny
works out of the box
Cons:
no easy way to mount it directly to a board.
when it says that this can be used in simple circuits without an arduino, they don't tell you that the output signal for when this thing senses activity is really only .3 volts, not the 5 volts I was expecting. something to keep in mind, because the output signal cannot actually power anything, it is really only useful for use with a microcontroller or an extremely sensitive relay.
