[ladyada] has a freshly-published and amazingly thorough tutorial on passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors. Most often seen in security floodlights and automatic doors, in creative hands these sensors ...

The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.

This circuit is from the GLOLAB web page. The document referenced here includes an excellent design as well as an excellent tutorial on PIR devices. You've probably seen these devices in homes and ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

ICP DAS USA releases PIR-130-DC, a 1-channel passive infrared (PIR) sensor module that detects human-body generated infrared waves within a range of approximately 8 meters (315 inches) in diameter ...

There’s no shortage of ESP32 development boards out there, with many of them offering some “killer app” feature which may or may not align with whatever it is you’re trying to do. But if you’ve got a ...
