Oiyagai 2pcs AM312 Mini Pyroelectric PIR Sensor Module Manual Motion Infrared IR Detector SR301

Product Information

There is no wrong polarity protection for the power pins. They are marked on the pcb with a very small “+” and “-” symbol. (see the first photo).

I didn’t put the resistor in initially, and I got those same errors. When I added the resistor, they went away.To start, the PIR unit basically consist of two critical elements: the piezo electric sensor that senses infrared energy and second electronics circruitry that enables differential detection of infrared energy changes followed by either simple or advanced evaluation circuitry to judge detection or not. To my amazement, I’ve spent half the day trying to get it to work and it’s still just spitting out messages like this: [20:26:26][W][dht:120]: Requesting data from DHT failed! You can upload this code to your ESP32 and assemble the following schematic diagram to test it and modify the number of milliseconds to see how it works.

After wiring the circuit as shown in the schematic diagram, copy the code provided to your Arduino IDE. But I have poor range, I'm not sure why, maybe the orientation of sensor/lens, or maybe the hot temperature, over 30°C, I will do more tests tomorrow if I can. As said before, position it in a place where sudden temperature variations (within a couple of seconds) are not to be expected. Slow variations are fine as the circuit measures differential voltages in a window comparator or digital equivalent of that. The DHT22 and DHT11 require external pull up resistors on the data line. To do this, solder a resistor with about 4.7kΩ (anything in the range from 1kΩ to 10kΩ probably works fine, but if you’re having issues try the 4.7kΩ recommended by the manufacturer) between DATA and 3.3V .” I realize that my experiences are anecdotal. Still, in the event that we have enough anecdotes, we might arrive at some half way meaningful data.

Demonstration

Sound detection is useful to measure ambient sound level. You won’t get an accurate dB-measurement, but an approximation. You can work with the values and thresholds to create custom notifications. The BOB-12758 (SparkFun Electret Microphone Breakout) mic with preamp is supposed to be more sensitive than the KY-037 and KY-038 alternatives. Its also smaller, and the KY-037 and KY-038 won't actually even fit the enclosure easily. As I have some problems with my RS485 setup the following is somehow preliminary (seems the 12V to 5V conversion is root cause; this also affects the RCWL's): This analog sensor is difficult to adjust sensitivity and delay time using the two little trim potentiometers. It is also be easility be interferenced by noises. We have a couple Hue Motion Sensors in our apartment to provide some automation for lighting control which work great, albeit a bit expensive.

Only strip ONE of the ends for the Tx and Rx wires. The other end must be intact because it goes to the board. Basically, this code subtracts the previous recorded time ( previousMillis) from the current time ( currentMillis). If the remainder is greater than the interval (in this case, 1000 milliseconds), the program updates the previousMillis variable to the current time, and either turns the LED on or off. if (currentMillis - previousMillis >= interval) { Really useful for fastening a couple of sensors in this design, and also a life saver at home for other stuff.Here’s the script that detects motion and lights up an LED whenever motion is detected. This code is compatible with both the ESP32 and ESP8266. # Complete project details at https://RandomNerdTutorials.com
