Motion Sensor

This PIR Motion Sensor is designed to detect human motion by measuring infrared radiation emitted by objects in its field of view. It operates as a digital component, making it simple to use in code. If the sensor value you read is True, a motion is being detected. False means no motion is detected.

The sensor has a detecting angle of 100 degrees and can sense motion at distances ranging from 3.2 meters to 12 meters.
