RCWL-0516 microwave radar motion sensor module uses a “microwave Doppler radar” technique to detect moving objects. Its advantage over traditional PIRs is that it can detect presence through obstacles with a sensing distance of 3m average in real life conditions.
| RCWL-0516 | ESP266 |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| VIN | 5V |
| OUT | GPIOx |
In the Configuration -> Configure Module page assign:
- GPIOx to
