Hi all

I just recieved a new Eltec Pyroelectric sensor from acroname and have been
messing around with it on my bot.
In the booklet it says that the sensor is a Human Motion detector as apposed
to a human presence detector.
when there is a heat source directly in front of it, it reads 128 from
analog(), but the same value is returned when there is absolutely no heat.

Does anybody know how i could get get it to tell the difference between heat
/ no heat??

Thanks

Ross

(...) Move the sensor, or the bot. If you sweep right to left you will detect the heat in front of you. -- Eric (25 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Perhaps you could waggle it back & forth (on a servo or something) to simulate motion. -- Will +---...---+ | ^^ <^ ^> | | / òó ó°° \ | | / =Y= U \ | | Wendy, Will, Tatoosh & Tenzing | +---...---+ The difference between reality and fiction?
