Seeed Studio Grove Mini PIR Motion Sensor

The Seeed Studio Grove Mini PIR Motion Sensor is a compact and efficient solution for creating motion detection applications. Featuring a cost-effective PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, it is ideal for projects requiring reliable motion sensing within a confined space. Its low power consumption makes it perfect for battery-powered or energy-conscious systems, from DIY projects to professional prototypes.

Designed with the user-friendly Grove interface, it allows for quick and easy connection to a wide range of microcontrollers and development boards without the need for soldering. This plug-and-play functionality significantly speeds up the development process for alarm systems, automated lighting controls, visitor monitoring, and interactive robots.

Key Features & Performance

• Compact Design: With minimal dimensions, this sensor can be discreetly integrated into almost any project.
• Optimised Detection: It offers a recommended maximum detection distance of up to 2 metres, making it suitable for applications with relatively smaller coverage areas.
• Stable Operation: For optimal performance, an operating temperature of around 25°C is recommended.
• Versatile Power: The sensor operates on a supply voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, providing compatibility with most common electronic platforms.

This sensor board, utilising the S16-L221D IC module, delivers a practical and accessible entry point into motion-sensitive electronics, balancing performance with affordability and ease of use.
