How do I use the PIR Motion Sensor Module – SR501?
Wednesday, June 21, 2023 Category:- To use the PIR Motion Sensor Module – SR501, follow these steps:
- Connect the VCC pin of the module to the power supply voltage (typically 5V or 3.3V) of your microcontroller or circuit.
- Connect the GND pin of the module to the ground (GND) of your microcontroller or circuit.
- Connect the OUT pin of the module to a digital input pin of your microcontroller or circuit. This pin will receive the motion detection signal.
- Adjust the sensitivity and time delay settings, if available, using the potentiometers on the module.
- Write the necessary code in your microcontroller or development board to monitor the digital input pin and perform desired actions when motion is detected.
It’s important to consult the datasheet or documentation specific to your PIR Motion Sensor Module – SR501 for detailed pin configurations, specifications, and usage instructions, as they may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
