>> hooking up 2 PIR sensors .. help needed
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I'm looking to hook up 2 PIR sensors to the BASIC stamp in order to
have them control 2 LEDs independently. having one PIR control
a "left" zone and the other control a "right" zone with motion
detection. when motion is detected in either area, it's respective
LED would should light up.
so far I have been working on the positioning of the PIRs and some
alteration to the PIR hardware itself (taping part of the dome sensor
so that both don't converge).
my question is this : is there a way of using the BASIC stamp to
control the PIRs so that only "left" and "right" are detected
independently and not both at the same time? any help with coding
and/or schematics of this would be very much appreciated.

right zone and left zone. You mentione you have two sensors, correct? One
sensor
goes to one stamp input pin while the other sensor goes to a different stamp
input pin.
Your software code then lights the LED depending on what sensor was
recognized in your code.
What is the part number of the sensors you are using?

The sensors that I am using are 5V powered PIR motion detectors
purchased at HVW.
