Mini Basic PIR Sensor - BS412

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
Mini Basic PIR Sensor - BS412 — Adafruit — 4666

PIR sensors are used to detect motion from pets/humanoids from about 5 meters away (possibly works on zombies, not guaranteed). This sensor is much smaller than most PIR modules, which makes it great for unobtrusive projects.

Pinout

  • Pin 1 / GND1

    Ground connection. Adafruit product page says to connect pin #1 to ground.

    Type · groundVoltage · 0V
  • Pin 2 / on-time set2

    On-time delay setting input. Adafruit says connect pin #2 to ground for an on time of 2 seconds, or use a resistor divider to set delay time.

  • Pin 3 / 3.3V3

    3.3V power input. Adafruit product page says to connect pin #3 to 3.3V and run the sensor on 3.3V power.

    Type · powerVoltage · 3.3V
  • Pin 4 / signal4

    Digital PIR motion signal output. Adafruit says to check signal on pin #4 and describes the digital output as 3.3V high/low.

Air quality

Choose between MQ gas sensors, VOC/eCO2 indoor-air sensors, true CO2 modules and particulate sensors without treating every air-quality breakout as the same detector.

Light and colour

Photoresistors and color sensors both respond to light, but they expose very different signals and are not sensible drop-in substitutes.
