Hi everyone,
I would like to make a garden ornament that turns on when someone gets near to it. The sensor will power a small 7-8 volt DC motor. A PIR (i think thats what you call them) I have seen has 2 adjusters, one is for sensitivity and the other is for duration, this would be perfect except it says it will only put out 5 volts and thats not enough. I have searched for a PIR that can put out more voltage but cannot find anything.
Can someone advise me on what I will need to purchase and how I put together without trying to explain it with a schematic i.e. I need it to be explained in the simplest of terms as my knowledge of this stuff is virtually none existent.
If someone could advise me I would be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance!
