Motion Sensor [Completed Project]

[willscott]

I hooked a PIR SE-10 motion sensor up to the digispark, to detect motion near my computer.
(Sparkfun link to the sensor)

There's a good guide for making the sensor work with an Arduino, and the same wiring works for the digispark.

Here's simple code for reporting read values to the computer.

@willscott - awesome the first full documented complete project - hope you don\'t mind I bumped you to the top for now and added to your subject line.

Once the wiki is open to all I hope you will consider adding a page for this, while this may be a relatively simple project, these are exactly the types of projects I envisioned the Digispark would be perfect for when I created it.

We\'ll be announcing some rewards in the near future for people who consistently post complete projects like this - so keep it up and we\'ll send you more stuff!

Thanks - from a fellow Washingtonian!

Cool!

My computer side code is hackier, so I haven\'t posted it quite yet.  I think the most relevant part is that I modified the digiusb/digiterm example to directly write received data to STDOUT, so that I could consume it in python.  The modified digiterm looks like:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require \'digiusb\'

sleep 0.25 until DigiUSB.sparks.length > 0
spark = DigiUSB.sparks.last

begin
  loop do
    print spark.getc
    begin
      char = $stdin.read_nonblock(1)
      spark.putc char
    rescue Errno::EAGAIN
    end
  end
rescue LIBUSB::ERROR_PIPE
  puts \"!\"
rescue Interrupt
  puts \"\"
end

Python and compiled executables for dealing with DigiUSB are uploading in about 15 minutes and should be up in an hour or so - should make that all much simpler!

It will even come with an example of hooking a LCD to the computer via USB and sending data to the screen from a command line app.

Would it help if digiterm had a raw option?

Checkout the latest update for plenty of examples of how to talk to DigiUSB - some raw output options are in there

I switched to my program to grab data from the digispark using the read.py included in the example programs.  Worked great!
