Grove - Adjustable PIR Motion Sensor
Grove - Adjustable PIR Motion Sensor is an easy to use Passive Infrared motion sensor, which can detect infrared object motion up to 3 meters. Any infrared object moves in its detecting range, the sensor outputs HIGH on its SIG pin. And you can adjust the SIG HIGH time up to 130s via the potentiometer, moreover, you can adjust the detection range via the other potentiometer. It will be a prefect motion sensor for your Arduino / Raspberry Pi project.

PRODUCT DETAILS
Grove - Adjustable PIR Motion Sensor is an easy-to-use Passive Infrared motion sensor, which can detect infrared object motion up to 3 meters.
Features
-
Easy to use: Grove compatible interface and supports both Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms
- Flexible detecting: detect infrared object motion up to 3 m
-
Small-design: 20mm x 40mm
-
Wide application: it is commonly found in appliances and gadgets due to its low-cost, low-power,easy-to-use, and long-life cycle.
When there are any infrared object moves in its detecting range, the sensor will output HIGH on its SIG pin. And you can adjust the SIG HIGH time up to 130s via the potentiometer, moreover, you can adjust the detection range via the other potentiometer.
What is a PIR Sensor?
A passive infrared sensor is an electronic sensor that measures infrared light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.
What does a PIR sensor detect?
PIR sensors are also known as PID or Passive Infrared Detectors. Thus, the PIR sensor can detect infrared radiation that is emitted by particles.
How does PIR Sensor work?
The PIR Sensor has 2 slots, and the slots are made of sensitive material. When the sensor is inactive, then the two slots will sense the same amount of IR. The ambient amount radiates from the outdoors, walls or room, etc.
When a human body or any animal passes by, it intercepts the first slot of the PIR sensor. This causes a positive differential change between the two bisects. But when the body leaves the sensing area, the sensor generates a negative differential change between the two bisects.
