power, easy to use and don't wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in
(/id/Logger-Shield-Datalogging-forArduino/)
appliances and gadgets used in homes or businesses. They are often referred to
as PIR, "Passive Infrared", "Pyroelectric", or "IR motion" sensors.
Tags:
Along with the pyroelectic sensor is a bunch of supporting circuitry, resistors and
capacitors. It seems that most small hobbyist sensors use the BISS0001 ("Micro
Power PIR Motion Detector IC")
(http://www.ladyada.net/media/sensors/BISS0001.pdf), undoubtedly a very
inexpensive chip. This chip takes the output of the sensor and does some minor
processing on it to emit a digital output pulse from the analog sensor.
For many basic projects or products that need to detect when a person has left or
entered the area, or has approached, PIR sensors are great. They are low power
and low cost, pretty rugged, have a wide lens range, and are easy to interface with.
Note that PIRs won't tell you how many people are around or how close they are to
the sensor, the lens is often fixed to a certain sweep and distance (although it can
be hacked somewhere) and they are also sometimes set off by house pets.
Experimentation is key!

These stats are for the PIR sensor in the Adafruit shop which is very much like the
Parallax one
(http://www.parallax.com/Store/Sensors/ObjectDetection/tabid/176/ProductID/83/Lis
t/0/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName,ProductName). Nearly all PIRs will have
slightly different specifications, although they all pretty much work the same. If
there's a datasheet, you'll want to refer to it
Size: Rectangular
Price: $10.00 at the Adafruit shop (http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?

Output: Digital pulse high (3V) when triggered (motion detected) digital low when
idle (no motion detected). Pulse lengths are determined by resistors and
capacitors on the PCB and differ from sensor to sensor.

PIR sensors are more complicated than many of the other sensors explained in
these tutorials (like photocells, (http://www.instructables.com/id/Photocell-tutorial/)
FSRs (http://www.instructables.com/id/FSR-Tutorial/) and tilt switches
(http://www.instructables.com/id/Tilt-Sensor-Tutorial/)) because there are multiple
variables that affect the sensors input and output. To begin explaining how a basic
sensor works, we'll use the rather nice diagram below (if anyone knows where it
originates plz let me know).
The PIR sensor itself has two slots in it, each slot is made of a special material that
is sensitive to IR. The lens used here is not really doing much and so we see that
the two slots can 'see' out past some distance (basically the sensitivity of the
sensor). When the sensor is idle, both slots detect the same amount of IR, the
ambient amount radiated from the room or walls or outdoors. When a warm body
like a human or animal passes by, it first intercepts one half of the PIR sensor,
which causes a positive differential change between the two halves. When the
warm body leaves the sensing area, the reverse happens, whereby the sensor
generates a negative differential change. These change pulses are what is
detected.
The PIR sensor itself
The IR sensor itself is housed in a hermetically sealed metal can to improve
noise/temperature/humidity immunity. There is a window made of IR-transmissive
material (typically coated silicon since that is very easy to come by) that protects
the sensing element. Behind the window are the two balanced sensors.

its not working for me. when i plug everything in and upload
the sketch the led comes on and stays on. in the serial
monitor it says motion detected. my pir does not have a
jumper on the back but it does have three pads. there is 2
pots on it and i tried adjusting them but it didnt seem to help.
i got the pir on ebay (http://tinyurl.com/led58rm) if any one
can help that would be great

In the data sheet the pins you have marked are used to set the
trigger in either single or repeat modes. I tried using the system
in single trigger mode by soldering the 1st and 2nd pins but it
seemed to heat up the system. I then soldered the 2nd and 3rd
pins(Circled in Red) and it worked all right.

Hey there guys, i would just like to know does the PIR motion
works with other programming such as C programming and
such. Another thing is, is it possible to do this:
When sensor detects, LED lights up
When sensor x detect, LED would dim instead of off.
Thanks. Your reply would be highly appreciated.

I actually just posted an Instructable recently that essentially does what you
are asking. Only thing you would have to change in the code is the PWM
value in the analogWrite() function from 0 (which is totally off) to 50 or so
(which would make the LED shine dimly).

Hi,
I would like to know if PIR sensor can tell me that the person in
range is moving toward to the left or right? Is it possible or I
need something else to detect?
Thanks!

Yes, it is possible to dim the LED upon detection.

How would you increase the sensitivity of the PIR sensor using
Arduino? (using code)
I'm doing a project, and coding in Arduino.
A 1/4 piece of Lexan (polycarbonate) should do the trick. You can heat form
it to fit the pir using an automotive soldering iron and a suitable metal form.
It's a tricky thing to do, so practice in an open area, being wary of
overheating the lexan, of any fumes, and of starting a fire.

I have just the sensor (TO9 can package) itself. A PIR D203S.
The datasheet tells me how to hook it up: 5V, Gnd and Signal
(it is an analog device). But it tells me very little about the
signal I will be getting. Short of dragging out my O-scope and
doing the testing; do you know what type of signal I should
expect? This module from LA you use is nice, but I'm using my
own uController so I wouldn't get the clean digital signal you
show. BTW Wonderful writeup! you would make my old college
profs proud.
