Hc-Sr501 Human Sensor Module Pyroelectric Infrared Module

Hi All,

I purchased a few of these PIR sensors on ebail for $4.50 (USD) each. They took a while to arrive from you all know where but they seem pretty cool. I am planning to add them to my sentry robot project at some point. I bench tested them and they seem too work just fine off the EZB using a single Digital port. +VCC, GND, signal. device trips high when motion is detected.

Hi kkeast,

I ordered some of the mini PIR module

These are so small with only a 10mm hole required! I bought it because I wanted to make a Portal 2 turret, along with the laser modules

That is an awesome idea! Portal 2 is the best! Love the laser modules too...you could put three of them in a triangle to make it kinda like the Predator laser sight!

I may get some to do just that...great find!

I'm on eBay now and that's got to be a typo, right? 10mm = 1 cm. How the heck can you solder the wires to something that small?

Hello guys,

I picked up this sensor at radio shack, 10 bucks.....bigger than the one you have but comes with the 3 pin connector...

Hey guys one more question. We are all using these sensors to sense humans not objects. For instance I'm putting one of these sensors on each side of my wall e. So when I move my hand I can make his head turn towards me and the his body.

I want to make sure these sensors are not for object detection.

Right?
