Re: [PD] PIR sensors
Hello all that's great, it all is very relevant information I'll have to decide either to hack the cheapeest built one or to bring out the old soldering iron, it doesn't look like a hard circuit. Ben, I'll keep you updated on the progress. I saw the rabitt..., good choice. thank you all for the replies, J On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 9:24 AM, Martin Peach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here's a circuit that I used to amplify the PIR sensor. > > Martin > > > > From: "Ben Carney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "Martin Peach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], > > pd-list@iem.at > > Subject: Re: [PD] PIR sensors > > Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 10:46:42 -0500 > > > > Not that i know much about sensors or electronics, but i believe this > > would > > be a bit harder to implement, the modules that come out of home lights > > have > > a set of resistors and other small bit built into a small circuit. > > that is a really good price, however! > > > > On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 10:38 AM, Martin Peach <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > wrote: > > > > > You can also get the sensor on its own here: > > > http://www.electronics123.com/s.nl/it.A/id.101/.f > > > > > > Martin > > > > > > > > > > > > From: "Ben Carney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], pd-list@iem.at > > > > Subject: Re: [PD] PIR sensors > > > > Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 10:25:00 -0500 > > > > > > > > > > > > hello there jaime, > > > > > > > > I have just recently bought 15 I.R. sensors for an installaition I > > am > > > > working on. > > > > I found two for around the $5-$6 range > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7330 > > > > > > > > http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10082 > > > > > > > > i went with the first link because it is a rabbit, of course. > > > > > > > > shouyld get them in a week or two. > > > > > > > > i know a bit about hackingt them(not too hard to do it seems) > > > > > > > > let me know how this project comes along as we might end up being a > > > > valuable > > > > resource to one another. > > > > > > > > -- > > > > > > > > Ben C. > > > > > > > > > > > > > ___ > > > > PD-list@iem.at mailing list > > > > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > > > > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > > > Ben C. > > > > -- Jaime E Oliver LR [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.realidadvisual.org/jaimeoliver www-crca.ucsd.edu/ www.realidadvisual.org 9168 Regents Rd.

Re: [PD] PIR sensors
Here's a circuit that I used to amplify the PIR sensor.

Re: [PD] PIR sensors
The home light switches have two parts, usually two separate boards. One is the sensor, which in my experience even has the inputs and outputs labeled on the sensor board (or at worse on the relay board), and the other is a relay to switch the mains voltage to the light on and off. The sensor board is self sufficient, runs on +5 or +9 volts probably, while the relay board is designed to have 110/220 VAC running through it. Easily separated with wire snips. I've never seen anything easier to hack in my life. Hook it up to power and ground, point it at something and it gives + volts or ground out the output wire. You could power it from an Arduino board and run the output back to the input, and from there do just about anything with it. best, d.

Re: [PD] PIR sensors
hello there jaime, I have just recently bought 15 I.R. sensors for an installaition I am working on. I found two for around the $5-$6 range http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7330 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10082 i went with the first link because it is a rabbit, of course. shouyld get them in a week or two. i know a bit about hackingt them(not too hard to do it seems) let me know how this project comes along as we might end up being a valuable resource to one another. -- Ben C. ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
