The PIR Sensor
What is a PIR sensor ?
The PIR (Passive InfraRed) sensor is a clever part of your kit. The sensor can detect invisible
radiation from warm blooded animals (birds, foxes, dogs and even you). When a warm blooded
animal walks past the kit, the PIR sensor will detect it and trigger the camera to take a photo!

The PIR Sensor
Task 1 - Connecting the PIR sensor
wires
Attach the three colour wires to the
sensor pins. The three PINs are labelled
(from left-right in image) VCC, OUT and
GND. Make sure the correct colour cable is
connected to the correct pin as follows:
Red Wire - VCC
Yellow Wire - OUT
Black Wire - GND
Note: your PIR sensors may vary from that
in the image.

Controlling the power
Choose one of the two options below:
Option A: The LIpo Rider
The LiPo Rider board allows you to connect power to your
wildlife cam kit. It boosts and regulates the power from
the rechargeable battery with a RJT connection to the
Raspberry Pi and allows for the battery to be charged using
a micro USB charger. It even enables the kit to be powered
by solar power.

Option B: Direct connection to a powerbank
A powerbank such as Anker power 10,000 can be used to
power your wildlife cam kit by directly connecting to the
Raspberry Pi by a micro USB cable.
