This is my first post. Assume I know the very, very, very basics of electronics.
Trying to make a stand alone PIR Sensor Test Bed.
Equipment used:
* Bread board (6" x 2")
* Panasonic PIR Sensor (Non-module) P/N: EKMC1603111 (Digital Output?)
* 470k ohm resistor
* Blue LED
* 5v AAA - 4 battery caddy
* Jumper wires.
I want to make sure I give you as much info as possible. Sorry if over compensating but
I hate when people don't give you all the info needed to give a good answer.
PIC of project:
PIC of diagram used:
When power is applied to the project the blue led flashes a pattern continuesly:
2 blinks (.75 sec) pause, 2 long blinks, pause for 1 sec, repeat.
If I wave my hand over it, it will totally change the pattern to fast blinks, some long
blinks and some short pauses.
Things I think I did wrong ?
1)...Using a diagram that uses a Modular PIR Sensor?
2)...Need a frame or earth ground also?
3)...The PIR sensor is a digital output and the above drawing is analog ???
4)...The blinking blue light is telling me what I'm doing wrong in Morse code but don't know Morse code?
Thanks in advance for your help.
