Make the following connections between your FunHouse and the PIR sensor:
- Red to FunHouse Port A0 VCC
- Black to FunHouse Port A0 GND
- Yellow to FunHouse Port A0 Signal
Add a Motion Sensor (PIR) to Wippersnapper
After setting up your Wippersnapper board, navigate to the New Component directory and select the PIR (motion sensor).
Once selected, assign it to your chosen pin (A0 in our case). Wippersnapper automatically handles the rest of the configuration, creating the necessary Adafruit IO feed for your motion sensor data.
Click Create Component.
After you've created the component, it should appear on your Device Page.
Troubleshooting Sensitivity
If you're having trouble with detection, adjust the PIR sensor's sensitivity. This sensor has two small potentiometers that allow you to fine-tune its responsiveness. Position your sensor where it has a clear view of the area you want to monitor, avoiding obstacles that might interfere with detection.
