This example was written and compile-checked for the arduino-uno. Codey Online adapts it to any other supported board for you.
// HC-SR501 PIR Motion Sensor
// Reads the PIR motion output and prints when motion is detected.
const int pirPin = 2;
void setup() {
pinMode(pirPin, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
;
}
Serial.println("HC-SR501 PIR motion sensor ready");
}
void loop() {
int motionState = digitalRead(pirPin);
if (motionState == HIGH) {
Serial.println("Motion detected!");
} else {
Serial.println("No motion");
}
delay(500);
}
