Sensor Test

To create a casing for the prototype model the PIR sensors are masked off so that their signal is reduced. I have done this to reduce the amount of interference created from multiple signals but also to stop the signals from each sensor from overlapping.


The video shows a test run to see that the face for the model will not block the signals from the sensors which are mounted behind the 6mm holes.

This is an image taken from earlier manufacturing and testing. At this point I was testing the PIR with the Servo to check the connection and reaction between the two.
