Overview
The RCWL-0516 is particularly suitable as an alternative to using a PIR motion sensor.
When it detects a moving object, the output changes from a low logic level to a high level (3.3 volts). Appropriately interfaced (Arduino, Fishino or other), it can be used for the automatic opening of electric doors and gates, automatic lighting.
Detection range is about 9 meters.
Tech specs
- Power supply: from 4 volts to 28 volts
- Consumption: typical 2.8 mA; max. 3 mA
- Detection distance: from 5 to 9 meters
- Transmission power: typical 20 mW; max. 30 mW
- Output voltage and current: 3.2-3.4 volts - 100 mA
- Operating temperature: from -20°C to +80°C
- Pin definition: 3V3: 3.3 volt output voltage
- GND: negative power supply
- OUT: when it detects a moving object, it changes from a low level to a high level (3.3 volts)
- VIN: positive power supply from 4 volts to 28 volts
- CDS: if kept low, less than 0.7 volts, the output will always be low even in the presence of motion

… between the Rev2 and the previous version of the MKR IoT Carrier. Here are the main ones. Some sensors have changed: The humidity sensor (HTS221) and barometric pressure sensor (LP22HB) has been replaced with the BME688 sensor.The IMU (LSM6DS3) was replaced with LSM6DSOX. Following customer feedback some other components have been repositioned: Addition of a handy reset button90° rotation of the relay connectorsRepositioning of the light sensor (APDS-9960)Change of pins assigned to control the relays to pins 1 and 2Change grove connector assignment from pin A5 to A6 Do I have to change my sketch if I have been using the first revision of the MKR IoT Carrier? No — the MKR IoT Carrier library works with both revisions of the carrier. Just make sure to use the latest version of the library to ensure everything goes smoothly. Have more fun with the IoT The new MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 is the perfect tool to get started having fun with your own IoT projects, or to take your IoT tinkering to the next level. You don’t need a ton of experience, a bucket of expensive components, or endless hours of free time to build your own satisfying, useful IoT gadgets at home. Discover the MKR IoT Carrier Rev2
