PASSIVE INFRARED SENSOR

PiR sensor stands for passive infrared motion sensor. It is based on pyro electric effect that is, it converts heat into electrical energy. It detects the motion of human body and any other living thing which generates the heat. This property of pir is used for detecting the living body and interfacing this module with the micro-controller. The pir sensor has 3.3V output when it senses any body and 0V when there is no motion nearby. It has a good range of 2-7 meters depending on the module and the temperature conditions.
