PIR sensors, often referred to as, "Passive Infrared" or "IR motion"  sensors, enable you to sense motion. Everything emits a small amount of  infrared radiation (IR), and the hotter something is, the more radiation  it emits. PIR sensors are able to detect a change in average IR levels  of their detection zone (e.g. when a human enters a room, that room will  increase in temperature slightly) and hence sense motion. 

This  one's great, as it can be powered  via the Raspberry Pi's 5V output, and  be read directly from the Raspberry Pi's GPIO input (as the sensor has a  digital 3.3V output!)

This PIR includes an adjustable delay  before firing (approx 0.5 - 200 seconds), has adjustable sensitivity and  two M2 mounting holes! It runs on 4.5V-20V power (or 3V by bypassing  the regulator with a bit of soldering) and has a digital signal output   (3.3V) high, 0V low. Its sensing range is up to 7 meters in a 100  degree cone.

Setup with Raspberry Pi

This infrared obstacle/object detection sensor is super easy to use. It comes with a potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity. The output is a digital signal so it is easy to interface with any microcontroller such as Maker UNO, Mega, Leornado, Zero, 101, or even the Raspberry Pi or Raspberry Pi Zero. This infrared sensor offers simple, user-friendly, and fast obstacle detection via infrared reflection, it is non-contact detection. As it is based on light reflection, the detection varies with different surfaces. And any infrared source might also interfere with the detection.

It comes in a pair of Infrared emitter and receiver at the front of the module, whenever an object blocks the infrared source, it reflects the infrared and the receiver gets it and the signal goes through a comparator circuit on board. Depending on the threshold that is being adjusted, it will output logic LOW at the output pin and the green LED will light up to indicate the detection. Turning the onboard potentiometer clockwise will increase the sensitivity and further increase the detection range. Compatible with 5V or 3.3V power input.

Note: Please make sure that there is a gap between the emitter and the receiver so that the sensor can work properly.

Everyone loves the 1602-character LCD, it is cheap and works out of the box! But the need for 6 to 10 GPIOs is the pain :) It takes most of the GPIO of Arduino and other microcontrollers. Now with this I2C or Two wires interface LCD, you will save a lot of GPIO for your sensor and motor control.

This is a great blue backlight LCD display. As the pin resources of the Arduino controller are limited, your project may not be able to use a normal LCD shield after being connected with a certain quantity of sensors or SD cards. However, with this I2C interface LCD module, you can realize data display via only 2 wires. If you already have I2C devices in your project, you can still program this LCD with the correct I2C address. It is fantastic for Arduino-based projects. 

Note: If the display is not clear (or blank), try to adjust the contrast level by tuning the onboard potentiometer.

Features

• I2C Address: 0x27 
• Backlight (White character on Blue background) 
• Supply voltage: 5V 
• Size: 82x35x18 mm 
• Come with I2C interface
