PIR Infrared Motion Sensor (HC-SR501) (pir sensor big)
Description:
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.
Specifications:
- Input Voltage: 4.5V - 20V
- Current Draw: <50µA
- Digital Output: 3.3V (High)
- Digital Output: 0V (Low)
- Working Temperature: -15°C to 70°C

Maker Reflect: Simplifying IR Reflectance Sensor for Beginner (maker reflect)
Description
Maker Reflect is a tiny reflectance sensor that consists of an infrared (IR) LED that transmits IR light onto a surface and a phototransistor measures how much light is reflected back. The output is in analog voltage - The more IR light is sensed by the phototransistor, the lower the voltage.
Typically this sensor is used in line following robot as the white surfaces reflect more IR than black surfaces. However, it is not limited to line follower, there are much more application which can utilize the Maker Reflect. Eg.: Edge/Border sensor in Sumo robot, wall sensor in maze solving robot, short-distance object detector (presence sensor), a sensor for rotary wheel encoder...etc.
Measuring only (L)18.1mm x (W)8.4mm x (H)4.2mm (Exclude the header pin), this tiny sensor can be easily fitted in the tightest space available on your robot. We purposely designed the sensor so that the mounting hole is at the center so that the sensor can be at the front-most position. This is especially important in the Sumo robot.
