Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

This circuit is from the GLOLAB web page. The document referenced here includes an excellent design as well as an excellent tutorial on PIR devices. You've probably seen these devices in homes and ...

Panasonic Industry has announced its latest PIR (passive infrared) motion detector, a Flat Wide Detection Type (12 lens) sensor. It includes PaPIRs+ (Panasonic Passive Infrared Sensors+), the ...

In theory, the functioning of a pyroelectric detector is absolutely comprehensible. As the centrepiece in gas analysers, flame sensors, spectral analysis devices as well as non-contact temperature ...
