PIR Sensor - Bad?

Postby tampa_poet » Sat Feb 18, 2012 8:13 pm

Hello All:

I purchased the Adafruit PIR sensor and I can't seem to get it to work. I wired hot and ground to a 5V regulated power supply and the brown wire to a LED via a 330 ohm resistor (no arduino involved) and the LED doesn't light up, no matter what I do. Is it bad?

Thanks!

That doesn't look like a PIR sensor we sell, did you buy it from Adafruit?

Well, apparently not. Sorry about that! The one that I ordered from you guys hasn't arrived yet.

Thanks!
