PIR modules have a 3-pin connection at the side or bottom. The pinout may vary between modules so triple-check the pinout! It’s often silkscreened on right next to the connection (at least, ours is!) One pin will be ground, another will be signal and the final one will be power. Power is usually 3-5VDC input.

When object comes in detecting area it will return 1 from output pin otherwise it return 0.

The IR sensor itself is housed in a hermetically sealed metal can to improve noise/temperature/humidity immunity. There is a window made of IR-transmissive material (typically coated silicon since that is very easy to come by) that protects the sensing element.

some important function used in Project

• Serial.begin(9600);                                //for serial monitor initialisation on 9600 baudrate
• pinMode(sensor, INPUT);                      //for defining pinmode as sensor input.
• pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);                         //for defining pinmode of buzzer as output.
• digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);                //putting buzzer on
• Serial.println(“Motion detected!“);                // for printing text in serial console
