💬 Multi-Sensor: Temp/Humidity/PIR/ Leak/Magnet/Light/Accel

@nca78 Will do. I ordered 20 of them. Might be a nice addition on a leak detector also.

[NeverDie]

I finally received the MAX44009 board:

I'm able to read lux values by pulling A0 on the board to Vcc and using this library and sketch:
https://github.com/dantudose/MAX44009/blob/master/Example/Luxmeter.ino
Very easy. :)

[Nca78]

@neverdie you don't even need to bother with a lib, just 2 functions are enough.
https://blog.kkessler.com/tag/max44009/

[scalz]

even if it's two functions only, if i need to reuse them in others sketch, I would prefer them in a lib. Only "one line" (include) in the sketch compared to x lines ;)

@neverdie this looks pretty small for a buzzer already. Sorry no idea about smaller ones, but please post your results I'm interested :)

Received it today. Putting just DC across it produces no sound at all. Driving it with a pulsed voltage (say 10K hertz at 50% duty cycle) directly from an arduino pin produces sound, but at very low volume. Since it draws 220ma with a straight 3v DC voltage across it, I'm guessing a current more like that is what it will take to get it to produce louder sound, but that's only just a wild guess.

[NeverDie]

I tried driving it from a load switch controlled by the arduino, and that helped increase the volume somewhat.

Doing that, and using this script, I think it will be audible if you're in the same room as it (and if the room is otherwise quiet).

long lastMicrosTime=0;  //timestamp in microseconds

void setup() {
  pinMode(10,OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  for (int x=0;x<1000;x++) {
    digitalWrite(10,HIGH);
    lastMicrosTime=micros();
    while ((micros()-lastMicrosTime)<300) {} //wait until 300 microseconds have passed
    digitalWrite(10,LOW);
    while ((micros()-lastMicrosTime)<x) {} //wait until another x microseconds have passed
  }
}

So, if you were to use it as a locator beacon attached to something you wanted to find, it might be good enough for that.

Guess this is not made for Vietnam then :D
I supposed this type of buzzer is made more for user feedback for things like touch sensors, than for raising alert.

[NeverDie]

@nca78 What strange is that if I cup my hand over it, it actually becomes louder. Not sure what's up with that. So, maybe I'm just not driving it right.

[NeverDie]

Here's the latest version of the PIR sensor embodiment:

It runs from two CR2032's.

Very compact! :)

[ahmedadelhosni]

@neverdie how do you connect thr two Cr batteries ?

Another question ? I read in another comments that you need 100-200 uF capacitor so that the radio can work since thr CR battery wont be strong enough. Did you add this ?

This was recently discussed in the Bluetooth action! thread.

Isn't that the principle for most speakers, using a sound box ?

[Tiwo85]

Wich board do you use in arduino? I can only use Waveshare BLE4.0. At Generic etc. It seems, that the oscillator doesn't work probably.

Not sure what you're asking.

[Tiwo85]

@neverdie I mean this:

When I use Generic nRF51 or something else, the onboard LED turns on and doesn't turns off. When I use Waveshare BLE400 the sketch works as usual

[NeverDie]

@tiwo85
I use this:

You download it from @d00616 on github.

[Tiwo85]

@neverdie do you have a working example sketch. I try the example sketch from the 10years pir sensor an d modify a little bit, but it doesn't work. The sketch awake every 5 minutes and send the state from the pir and that's it.

[Tiwo85]

@neverdie thank you. I made this sketch work. But I need to get work interrupts. I use your code for the am612, but it doesn't work. Then I use the example from Redbear labs "Example interrupted" to turn on the led when p0.02 is high. I use Mysensors library and set My Core only. Then it runs. But when I try to integrate Mysensors routines "presentation" etc. And disable "my core only" , then the interrupt doesn't work.

// SUMMARY: This demo sketch runs on the AM612 PIR v607 PCBto transmit battery voltage (heartbeat) and motion detections to a MySensors gateway using MySensors protocols.

// Note: because this is a passive node, node ID must be set manually to a unique sensor node ID:
#define MY_NODE_ID 143  // Passive mode requires static node ID

//#define MY_CORE_ONLY

#define MY_PASSIVE_NODE

#define MY_RADIO_NRF5_ESB

@tiwo85 I suggest you start a different thread on your interrupt problems, since that's really a separate issue and not specific to this hardware.
