Tiny but mighty
Great for compact builds where space is limited. Much smaller than the standard HC-SR501 module.

Good sensitivity
Detects motion well but range is slightly less than expected in bright light conditions. Overall good value.

Reliable detection
Used it for a security alarm prototype. No false positives so far. Very stable output signal.

Need to check wiring
Works but I initially confused the pins. Documentation could be clearer for beginners. Once wired correctly it works.
Q: Can I use this sensor outdoors?
A: It is not waterproof, so you need to place it inside a protective enclosure for outdoor use.
Q: Can this run on 3.3V logic?
A: Yes, it operates comfortably between 3.3V and 5V, making it safe for most microcontrollers.
Q: How do I adjust the detection range?
A: The HC-SR505 has a fixed range unlike the HC-SR501. It is optimized for short to medium range detection.
Q: What is the maximum output current?
A: The output current is typically around 10mA, which is suitable for microcontroller inputs but not for driving motors directly.
Q: Is there a specific library needed for this?
A: It works with standard digital read functions, so no specific library is required for basic use.
