It gives you a 4X4 pixel temperature image, and unlike the PIR sensor, it can 
detect motionless warm objects.

Hey Ryuta,

Yes, we'd thought about PIR's.  My understanding, and I'd be happy to be proved 
wrong, is that they are either 'on' or 'off', motion or no-motion.  

And this case what we'd really like is to be able to detect motion but also 
depth (3d) so we can measure whether something is moving towards and away from 
the chimes with a proportional representation of force.  Then ideally lateral 
movement too so, say, someone waves their arm from side to side that that could 
also be measured.


Tricky & challenging on such a lightweight machine, particularly with no GEM, 
but I guess that's also part of the fun:)

Many thanks for your suggestion though.

All the best,

Julian
