Looking to add some motion detection to a project you are working on? The SparkFun PIR Breakout – 1uA (EKMB1107112) might be just the thing! This breakouts uses a version of the EKM-series PIR sensors from Panasonic to offer low profile motion-sensing options for both battery powered and continuously powered applications.
Features: Operating Voltage: 2.3 – 4.0V; 1uA standby current consumption; Lens diameter – 10.4mm; Lens Height – 10.9mm; 5m detection distance; 90° x 90° (±45°) detection area
Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors do not return specific distance data like distance sensors. Instead, PIR sensors measure IR light coming from objects to detect motion in their field of view making them perfect for motion-sensing applications such as turning devices like lights, cameras, motors, etc. on automatically.
The PIR sensors on these breakouts output a digital signal whenever a moving object is detected in the sensing area. That signal can be monitored by a microcontroller to trigger action on a connected device like those mentioned above.
Note: The sensitivity of passive infrared sensors is influenced by environmental conditions, so a performance evaluation test under representative conditions is recommended. Note: Headers not included.
