It should be a piece of cake if you program your Attiny85 chip (not Digispark) using your existing Arduino IDE with the help of one “USB tiny ISP (v2.0)” programmer. The software/Arduino sketch /* * ...

when it detects a moving target. Most Digital PIR sensor modules have three connector pins: Vcc (5V), Ground (0V), and Output. The output is a digital LOW or HIGH, depending on whether the sensor has ...

Using motion detectors and an Arduino you can trigger lights, fans, ... } } Here is the circuit for the Sparkfun Active Low style sensor. PIR Pin “+” connects to Arduino +5.

While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

Wireless sensor networks are nothing new to Hackaday, but [Felix]’s wireless PIR sensor node is something else entirely. Rarely do we see something so well put together that’s also so w… ...

What intrigued me is applications for omnidirectional motion detection instead of a PIR which IS directional. Also, it has mass discrimination so small creatures, such as mice, won’t be detected.

Camera’s using PIR motion detection usually allow you to adjust the sensitivity level within the companion app, so that more- or less-pronounced motion triggers the sensor.
