Can the PIR be connected to the propeller robot board? I have tried and I am not getting an movement detection from the sensor. I have been trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, with no success.

    Yes, the PIR can be connected to most any uC board. The Propeller robot board may use those 3.3V voltage translators, so check that.

    1) There are two different detection modes on the sensor, check the documentation.
    2) You can easily test the sensor output with a simple multimeter for a high/low condition.
    3) There was a thread a few months back about defective new PIR sensors, so definitely test yours.

    Make sure that the jumper for the translator is set to 5v. Did you try the code listed on the Stingray product page to test the Ping?
