The Motion Sensor Phidget allows you to detect motion up to ten meters away. This sensor will output a steady voltage when no objects are detected. The voltage output will increase or decrease when motion is detected. Movement that fills more of the sensor’s field of view will result in a larger change in voltage.
This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.

This sensor automatically re-calibrates, so objects that stop moving inside the sensor’s view won’t trigger the sensor until they start moving again.

Features

  • Detects motion up to 10m away by sensing infrared emissions
  • Useful for detecting the presence of people or animals
  • 70 degree field of view
  • Automatic re-calibration

Interface Boards and Hubs

This sensor can be read by any Phidget with an Analog Input or VINT Hub port. VINT Hub ports can behave just like Analog Inputs, but have the added flexibility of being able to be used as digital inputs, digital outputs, or ports to communicate with VINT devices. For more information about VINT, see the VINT Overview page.

Step 3: Connect Wireless

5. Enter your Wifi Network details to use your Hub wirelessly and click Save & Apply. You can then disconnect the ethernet cable.

It may take a few minutes for your Phidgets to appear in the Phidget Control Panel, which we’ll check in the next step.

Step 4: Verify Connection

1. The easiest way to verify that your libraries are working properly is to compile and run an example program. Download and unpack this C example that will detect any Phidget:

HelloWorld C Example

Step 4: Verify Connection

2. Next, open the terminal in the location where you unpacked the example. Compile and run using:

gcc HelloWorld.c -o HelloWorld -lphidget22
sudo ./HelloWorld

You should receive a “Hello” line for each Phidget channel that is discovered:

I don’t see any Phidgets show up in the HelloWorld example

You need to run it with sudo in order to be able to access USB devices. In order to use Phidgets without sudo, you need to set your udev rules. See the Advanced Information page on the final slide of this guide for details.

Step 5: Update

Now that you've confirmed that you have access to your Phidgets, you should ensure the HUB5000 is fully updated. You can update the firmware of the VINT Hub using the phidget22admin tool (see included readme for further instructions).

To upgrade the firmware of the operating system on the HUB5000, download the most recent file here.

Next, go back to the web configuration page and click on the System tab. Scroll down to Upgrade Firmware and select the file you download and hit Upgrade & Restart. You'll be instructed to wait a few minutes before logging back into the web interface.

When you log back in, you can confirm that the new version has successfully installed by checking to see if the firmware version listed in the Status section matches the first three numbers in the firmware file name that you downloaded.

Done!

Now that you're able to see your devices in the Hello World example and the device is fully updated, you're done with the Setup part of this guide.

Part 2: Using Your Phidget

About

The MOT2002 detects changes in infrared radiation caused by the movement of a person or object whose temperature differs from their surroundings. The sensor will return 0 when there is no movement detected. When there is movement detected, the sensor will return a non-zero value.

As the MOT2002 detects temperature differences, it is well suited to detecting the motion of people by their body temperature.

Explore your Phidget Channels Using the Control Panel

MOT2002 0 Panel Example.jpg

Double click on the Voltage Input channel class under the port your MOT2002 is connected to.

You can see the voltage from the sensor fluctuate when motion is detected.

Connecting an Analog Sensor with a Phidget Cable
Analoginput.jpg

The Phidget Cable is a 3-pin, 0.100 inch pitch locking connector. Pictured here is a plug with the connections labelled. The connectors are commonly available - refer to the Analog Input Primer for manufacturer part numbers.

Setting the Change Trigger and Data Interval

The Change Trigger is the minimum change in the sensor data needed to trigger a new data event.

The Data Interval is the time (in ms) between data events sent out from your Phidget.

The Data Rate is the reciprocal of Data Interval (measured in Hz), and setting it will set the reciprocal value for Data Interval and vice-versa.

You can modify one or both of these values to achieve different data outputs. You can learn more about these properties here.

How do I know what channel, serial number, or hub port to use in my program?

Before you open a Phidget channel in your program, you can set these properties to specify which channel to open. You can find this information through the Control Panel.

1. Open the Control Panel and double-click on the red map pin icon:

The locate Phidget button is found in the device information box

2. The Addressing Information window will open. Here you will find all the information you need to address your Phidget in your program.

All the information you need to address your Phidget


See the Phidget22 API for your language to determine exact syntax for each property.

My MOT2002 cannot detect the movement of an object that is moving past it.

The objects detected by the MOT2002 must be emitting infrared light in order to be detected, which means they must be giving off heat or be a significantly different temperature than the background it’s contrasted against.

Why do I get "Out of Range" error code 4103 for a while after setting the SensorType?

The MOT2002 needs a period of stillness so it can establish a baseline before using any of the filters in the SensorType selection. You can aid this process by setting a short data interval (e.g. 1ms) before setting the SensorType. If you can't guarantee a period of stillness for the filter to calibrate to when it first starts up, you should either set up your program to ignore the out of range errors, or use the raw VoltageInput value and come up with your own rules for how to quantify movement.
