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

A riddle wrapped in an enigma... made easy, with Arduino Plug and Make Kit
A riddle wrapped in an enigma... made easy, with Arduino Plug and Make Kit
November 15, 2024

The Arduino Plug and Make Kit was designed to open up infinite possibilities, breaking down the idea that technology is a “black box” reserved for experts. With its snap-together system, this kit gives everyone – beginners and seasoned makers alike – the power to create and innovate without barriers. Forget being a passive user! With the Plug and Make Kit, technology is accessible and ready to bring your ideas to life. Meet Giulio Pilotto, Plug and Make Kit Star Giulio Pilotto is one of Arduino’s senior software engineers and works closely on Arduino Cloud projects. When we held a “Make Tank” workshop at our Turin office to showcase the potential of the Plug and Make Kit, he joined in with inspiration from a recent escape room experience. The result was Riddle Treasure, a puzzle-based game that allows you to recreate the excitement of an escape room anywhere you are. At this year’s Maker Faire, Pilotto had the opportunity to present Riddle Treasure at the Arduino booth. While he had showcased his own creations at previous Maker Faire editions, this time felt special: “The Maker Faire is always a wonderful high-energy event,” he says. “I was happy to represent the Arduino team as we focus more than ever on the community: all our products were presented in the light of what people can do with them.” Riddle Treasure To be honest, this is probably the most advanced project our in-house “Make Tank” came up with (so far!). After all, it has to be somewhat complicated to emulate intricate escape room puzzles! However, following Pilotto’s step-by-step instructions on Project Hub and leveraging the easy snap-together mechanism of Modulino nodes, anyone can recreate Riddle Treasure – or even invent a personal, unique variation. The goal of the game is to unlock a safe. But to get there, you need to complete three steps in order. 1. Combination Lock: First, you must rotate the encoder in Modulino Knob like a
