💬 Motion Sensor

[gohan]

Delay is not bad, depends how you use it. Maybe you could use an if statement to check pin state is low before entering sleep

[skywatch]

Millis won't work with the SLEEP funtion either. REcently added to the API....

Hi, I´ve read this above

"however this sensor requires 5 VDC so you will need to use a step-up regulator if you are running the 3.3V version of the Arduino Pro Mini."

So I am using 3 V, could you propose a fitting step up regulator so I can use this PIR (best from ebay)? Thank you!

[maghac]

@siod said in 💬 Motion Sensor:

a

You have a HC-SR501 sensor? I had that same question before and then I realized that the HC-SR501 actually has a 3.3 V regulator and if you bypass it you can run it on 3.3V.

@Cliff-Karlsson
For dual Sensors

one error is present on the line sleep:
it is not : sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR_1 || DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR_1), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);

but : sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR_1 )|| digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR_2), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);

hi,
i want to ad a motion sensor to my project (3 dimmers on a arduino uno using nrf24).
My first problem is that the 2 and 3 pins are not available (nrf24 and pwm dimmer), so i will take the pin 1 for testing
second is the sleeping time during i can't send any light message to my dimmers...

[MCF]

this is my code

 * DESCRIPTION
 * This sketch provides a Dimmable LED Light using PWM and based Henrik Ekblad

 * Developed by Bruce Lacey, inspired by Hek's MySensor's example sketches.
 *
 * The circuit uses a MOSFET for Pulse-Wave-Modulation to dim the attached LED or LED strip.
 * The MOSFET Gate pin is connected to Arduino pin 3 (LED_PIN), the MOSFET Drain pin is connected
 * to the LED negative terminal and the MOSFET Source pin is connected to ground.
 *
 * This sketch is extensible to support more than one MOSFET/PWM dimmer per circuit.

Since it is a powered node, you don't need to put it to sleep. As for the pir you can do as you like: check pin status during loop, use an attach interrupt function on pin change, etc

[MCF]

@gohan ok thank you for answering. if i do this:

void loop() 
{
  // Read digital motion value
    bool tripped = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR)== HIGH;
    
    Serial.println("coucou");
    Serial.println(tripped);
    send(msg.set(tripped?"1":"0"));  // Send tripped value to gw
    }
    // Sleep until interrupt comes in on motion sensor. Send update every two minute.
    //sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME);
}

the node never stop to send message to the gateway. i would like to send something only if D1 goes to high, is that possible ? (i'm starting combinating exemple and i want to understand what i do now!!)

@siod The HC-SR501 actually runs on 3.3VDC but has a 5VDC-3.3VDC regulator on board.

There are several ways to bypass this regulator, but the easiest is to connect your 3.3VDC supply to pin 3 of JP3 (the one marked "H").

You must make sure that your 3.3VDC supply is very stable, otherwise you will get false activations.

Hi,

The code

sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR), CHANGE, SLEEP_TIME); 

doesn't need a ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) function? Should we assume that if no ISR is defined, the node will wake in the loop function?

[gohan]

Yes, it will wake and run the loop once

[patrikr76]

So i was testing out the motionsensor sketch and it kept giving me "!TSF:MSG:SEND" after the initial 0 had been sent.

Finding no answers on here i tested loads of things until i tried a delay after the sleep command.
Running fine now with a 5msec delay.

Just thought i would share.

[mitsured]

I connected a 12v DC input and no matter what I do the output always shows 12V. It never goes to a "low" 0V output. From what I read these can use between a 5v and 20v input so I'm assuming a 12v input should not be an issue and still produce a High when triggered and Low 0V when not triggered output. What am I doing wrong?

[bereska]

@patrikr76 thank you so much. I had the same issue with my motion sensor and spent 2 days pulling my hair out)

[etlizzie]

Was anyone able to reduce the delay time? 5 seconds is too long for me.
