The RCWL-0516 is a small and compact microwave motion sensor based on the Doppler effect.

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

Remote working with Arduino: Alexa and the Arduino IoT Cloud
Remote working with Arduino: Alexa and the Arduino IoT Cloud
May 13, 2020

We'll certainly remember this year, with many of us learning how to adapt and live a safe life-style under the pandemic. As many countries begin to initiate a relaxation of restrictions and we are starting to be able to leave our houses, arrange shifts to get into work (still observing safety measures), we might find ourselves with different needs. Perhaps we got used to having the TV on more often than usual, letting the voices of shows we don’t really watch keep us company in the background while home alone… working. Maybe we just like to have a corner light up with colors which soothe our moods, or give a fancy background tint to a remote disco party as we dress with big shades and wigs. Many of these things can easily be automated using Alexa and Arduino IoT Cloud, so when we (finally) leave the house and are not sure if the TV is still on, or if our living room corner is still purple! we can simply ask “Alexa, turn the TV off” or “Alexa, turn the living room off” and a series of smart devices and software will take care of it for us.Let’s give it a shot... Getting the Alexa skill: Learn how to use Arduino IoT Cloud and Amazon Alexa to interact with your sensors.
