 Hi everyone. 
 Some chat on these Pete Scargill's site:http://tech.scargill.net/microwave-for-the-weekend/
 It uses a different chip (RCWL-0516) to the other cheap radar modules discussed here last year...Ive ordered two to play with so will report back in a few months if they work for me.

 I wonder how much power it uses, because I suspect it will not be very battery friendly

 Some more info here:

 ...but not any power consumption figures....

 3 mA is not very friendly
