Seeed studio PIR sensor adjustments

Hi,

I just got myself this PIR sensor; just noticed it does not have adjustable potentiometers for distance and delay. Can someone please help me understand how I may tweak these settings?

Regards,

Hi @Prithul271176,

This PIR sensor is designed to output a HIGH/LOW signal to indicate movement in its detection range. It doesn’t have a recommended software option to change distance and delay however the board does look like it is possible to solder on your own potentiometers to change these values.

You can check out the Wiki for that product here which includes a circuit diagram however it’s worth noting that no official advice is given for controlling these settings.

Hope this helps!
