Grove - PIR Motion Sensor

This is a simple to use PIR motion sensor with Grove compatible interface. This sensor allows you to sense motion, usually human movement in its range. Simply connect it to Grove - Base shield and program it, when anyone moves in its detecting range, the sensor will output HIGH on its SIG pin.

Getting Started

Following documents help in getting the user started with Grove.


Demos

With Arduino

The following sketch demonstrates a simple application of sensing motion. When someone moves in its detecting range, it will output High through its SIG pin and the LED will light. Otherwise, it will output LOW. Then you can use it to detect the motion of people.


Connections

Base Shield Grove module
D2 Grove - PIR Motion Sensor
D4 Grove - LED 


/*macro definitions of PIR motion sensor pin and LED pin*/
#define PIR_MOTION_SENSOR 2//Use pin 2 to receive the signal from the module 
#define LED	4//the Grove - LED is connected to D4 of Arduino
 
 
void setup()
{
	pinsInit();
}
 
void loop() 
{
	if(isPeopleDetected())//if it detects the moving people?
		turnOnLED();
	else
		turnOffLED();
}
 
 
void pinsInit()
{
	pinMode(PIR_MOTION_SENSOR, INPUT);
	pinMode(LED,OUTPUT);
}
void turnOnLED()
{
	digitalWrite(LED,HIGH);
}
void turnOffLED()
{
	digitalWrite(LED,LOW);
}
/***************************************************************/
/*Function: Detect whether anyone moves in it's detecting range*/
/*Return:-boolean, true is someone detected.*/
boolean isPeopleDetected()
{
	int sensorValue = digitalRead(PIR_MOTION_SENSOR);
	if(sensorValue == HIGH)//if the sensor value is HIGH?
	{
		return true;//yes,return true
	}
	else
	{
		return false;//no,return false
	}
}



Note: The detecting distance and holding time can be adjusted by adding two extra potentiometers on board. For the details please refer to the V1.2 Eagle below. The module can also be set as retriggerable or un- retriggerable by changing the jumper hat.

With TI LaunchPad

Is Anybody here (PIR Motion Sensor)

The following sketch demonstrates a simple application of sensing motion. When someone moves in its detecting range, the output of the application will be high through its SIG0 pin and the LED will turn on. Otherwise, the output will be LOW. Note that the PIR motion sensor is very sensitive to motion! 


/*
  Grove-PIR-Motion-Sensor
 The following sketch demonstrates a simple application of sensing motion.
 When someone moves in its detecting range, it will output High through its 
 SIG pin and the LED will light. Otherwise, it will output LOW. Then you can 
 use it to detect the motion of people. 
 
 The circuit:
 * sig pin of the Grove-PIR-Motion-Sensor to pin39 (J14 plug on Grove Base BoosterPack)
 * one side pin (either one) to ground
 * the other side pin to +VCC
 * LED anode (long leg) attached to RED_LED
 * LED cathode (short leg) attached to ground
 
 * Note: Position the trig jumper on N_Retrig to ensure  
 
 This example code is in the public domain.

With Raspberry Pi

1.You should have a Raspberry Pi and a GrovePi or GrovePi+.
2. If the development environment is not configured, kindly follow here.
3.Connection

4.Navigate to the demos' directory: 

   cd yourpath/GrovePi/Software/Python/

   nano grove_pir_motion_sensor.py   # "Ctrl+x" to exit #

import time
import grovepi
 
# Connect the Grove PIR Motion Sensor to digital port D8
# SIG,NC,VCC,GND
pir_sensor = 8
 
grovepi.pinMode(pir_sensor,"INPUT")
 
while True:
    try:
        # Sense motion, usually human, within the target range
        if grovepi.digitalRead(pir_sensor):
            print 'Motion Detected'
        else:
            print '-'
 
        # if your hold time is less than this, you might not see as many detections
        time.sleep(.2)
 
    except IOError:
        print "Error"


5.Run the demo.

   sudo python grove_pir_motion_sensor.py
