Description

A PIR Sensor can detect motion, it is also called motion sensor. It detect moveing people or animals. PIR stands for passive infrared. Here we use the SR602.

It has 3 connectors:

  • - connected to GND
  • + connected to 3.3V
  • Out - digital output is 1 if motion is detected

How to control it in MicroPython

Reading the value and printing it to the console

 1 #Example usage for ESP32
 2 from machine import Pin
 3 from time import sleep
 4 # digital input on pin 26
 5 pir = Pin(26, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP) # enable internal pull-up resistor
 6 
 7 while True:
 8   pirVal = pir.value()
 9   print(pirVal)
10   sleep(1)
