HC-SR505 Mini PIR Motion Sensor Module for Arduino

HC-SR505 Mini Infrared PIR Motion Detection Sensor Module

The HC-SR505 Mini PIR Motion Sensor Module is a compact and energy-efficient infrared motion detection module designed for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, automation systems, robotics, and smart electronic projects. This sensor can detect human body movement by sensing changes in infrared radiation within its detection range. Due to its small size and low power consumption, the HC-SR505 is widely used in battery-powered devices, security systems, automatic lighting systems, and DIY electronics projects.

In Bangladesh and BD electronics markets, the HC-SR505 PIR sensor is highly popular among students, robotics enthusiasts, and makers working on automation and smart sensing projects. It is commonly used in science fair projects, IoT systems, motion-activated alarms, and automatic switching applications. At Biggan Project, this sensor module is considered an essential component for learning motion detection and embedded system design.

The module uses passive infrared sensing technology to detect nearby movement without physical contact. When a person or object enters the detection area, the sensor outputs a HIGH signal. After the preset delay time, the output automatically returns LOW if no further movement is detected. Its repeatable trigger mode ensures stable operation in continuous sensing environments.
