I have recently made the interface to connect the Eltec 442-3
pyroelectric sensor, using Michael Gasperi's analog interface as a
reference (thanks Michael), although some minor modifications need to be
made. The
pyroelectric sensor works very well, and I am now using it with my
wireless video camera, controlled by an rcx. Although I wasn't going to
make my lego website public for a few more months because it's nowhere
near complete, I whipped up a page for the sensor quickly and put it up
on the server:

If you have any questions, feel free to email me about it.
