What a great channel! It would be cool to see an outdoor version with rain and sunlight as factors.

@MrDe0 11 місяців тому

Awesome !!, Thank you so much, that was really informative 🌹

@dennisbauer3315 9 місяців тому

Thank you, most informative.

I did a project with the first green microwave sensor shown. Worked amazing for sensing people coming into a room or for what I needed it for... to sense people walking down a forest path.... one problem...as soon as the environment around was wet or damp (like rain or morning dew) it was completely blind. I assume what is happening is the microwave signal is being absorbed by the human or wet surface so both send back a shadow....so no movement detected when everything was a shadow. Worked fine in the garden when dry. One to watch out for. Otherwise awesome!

I am aware of the sensors but i didn't knew about the drawbacks of the sensors that you have mentioned. it was informative and expecting more such videos...

@Core-Electronics 11 місяців тому

glad you enjoyed 😁

Was not aware of the mm wave sensor. I have been trying to get other sensors mentioned here to work but there was always some kind of an issue or other. This mm wave sensor may be just what I want. Thank you! Off to order one.

@jomac_ph 5 місяців тому

great video. thanks!

@laurenceandremagsino1022 4 місяці тому

Great video! I have a question whats the best sensor you can recommend me that detects humans even in the dark and even if that sensor is moving because i want to put it in my security patrol robot project because we are having a hard time choosing a sensor that can detect effectively while it is in motion

@3DComputing 3 місяці тому

would have been nice if you told us of the current drain of each for battery based projects.

@charlesje1966 11 місяців тому

Very helpful. I see all these components for sale but it's hard to tell from the datasheets how they perform in actual use.

@Core-Electronics 11 місяців тому

Yeah! You never *really* know until you try

@59vijaiyaaravindthsr39 8 місяців тому

bro out of this which sensor can i use to gather enough data for the object future path prediction?

@olejorgensen1964 7 місяців тому

Great comparison :-) Though i think the Radar sensor can be changed by altering the resistor or capacitor on the board.

@jbbotha 7 місяців тому

I believe that's programmed via the UART

@jimtekkit 8 місяців тому

The problem I found with PIR sensors is that the standard ones are too cheap and unreliable, especially when range of over five metres is required. I upgraded to a Panasonic EKMC1603111 and despite having no adjustability it reliably detects movement up to 12 metres or more. Including vehicles, which is something the standard sensors couldn't do even on maximum sensitivity.

@Elec-DIY 5 місяців тому

If I recall correctly, you can change the sensitivity and duration of the pulse on the RCWL-0516 radar sensor by changing the values of the resistors on it. My only complaint about that sensor is it has a wide detection bubble around it, and since they can "see" through walls, you can't confine their detection area to a single room.

@demiurgiac 5 місяців тому

... and for that reason I found it to be of not much use.

@roctreese5371 Місяць тому

What a cool video. I have been searching for a device that would detect a fuel pump at a gas station. I have a long motorhome and it is hard to judge how far to pull up. Which one of these sensors you mentioned would be best for that application, about a 5 or 6 foot detection range?

@Core-Electronics Місяць тому

That is going to depend on where you are mounting the device. The Laser distance sensor and ultrasonic sensors can be mounted on the side of the home and detect when you pull up alongside the pump, they have up to a 12 ft range. If this was being mounted on the inside of the home, the laser can go through a glass window, but the ultrasonic sensor will be blocked. A camera, display and raspberry pi might be another option to watch from that side as you pull upto the pump. Very creative and unique project! Best of luck!

Is there any microwave sensor that detects distance.? Most ae motion detectors. I want my robot to detect object up to many yards away for avoidance and path decisions.

@yrkalaji 4 місяці тому

Thank you for this video. Just an important correction regarding the mmWave sensor you mentioned. It can’t detect people while not moving. In fact, it’s so accurate it can detect the movement of your fingers! I doubt it can detect a still sleeping person.

@yamitokyoo 3 місяці тому

I don't understand your point.

@yrkalaji 3 місяці тому

I mean it can only detect movement. For example, If someone is working on a computer, it can detect the movement of fingers on the keyboard. But in a sleeping person situation, there is no movement thus it won’t detect the person.

@yamitokyoo 3 місяці тому

@@yrkalaji It's actually tested. mmWave sensor can detect person that is not moving. The signal frequency is 24Ghz that is so high it can detect a single movement even you breathing. It has three signal outputs based on what I saw. First is it detects if there is a person in motion. Second, it detects if there is a person but not in motion, and lastly it detects if there's no person at all.

A clever dog uses a a PIR sensor to trigger an active detector. This reduces power requirements and reduces false positives

@Core-Electronics 6 місяців тому

That's a great idea

@RichardSefton 16 днів тому

This was exactly the information i was looking for. Can i connect a pir sensor to a microcontroller thats put to sleep and wake it up on an interrupt?

@tomlynn1000 11 місяців тому

I'd love to see these sensors applied to detecting when some crook tries to jump under your car to steal the catalytic converter. Hint, hint... video idea....

@georgesdev4577 4 місяці тому

But it might get false positives when rats crawl under cars...

@Nerdshowandtell 11 місяців тому

I need a minute to sit down & figure out cat defenses. Whatever I walk on, sit on or lay down on, they can too, but their understanding of the rule is that it applies when I’m present to enforce it. They’re smarter than I am & I’ll be the first to admit it, but I have opposable thumbs & a credit card for sensing & targeting technology.
