SparkFun OpenPIR

The SparkFun OpenPIR is a highly customizable Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor based around the NCS36000 PIR controller. Passive infrared (PIR) sensors are able to detect motion in a small/local area –-- they’re the sensor of choice in security systems home automation and proximity-sensing applications. The OpenPIR allows you to set the sensitivity trigger time and pulse mode of the motion sensor so you can tailor-fit it to your application!The OpenPIR has a multitude of characteristics unique to itself including two trimpots to adjust sensitivity (view distance) and the oscillator to control the length of time the output remains HIGH as well as a trigger that supports two motion-detection modes: single-pulse and dual-pulse. Additionally each OpenPIR is equipped with a reverse-entry green LED which duplicates the status of the OUT pin. When motion is detected the LED will illuminate; otherwise it will remain off.The SparkFun OpenPIR supports a power supply range of 3VDC to 5.75VDC at 80µA standby (3mA when detecting motion) and is able to be connected via a standard 0.1" header or a 4-pin JST PH connector.
