Trouble with PIR sensor
-
I got a relay and followed your guide to connect it. The relay has an LED light on it but it doesn’t seem to trigger. I still have all the code setup for turning off the HDMI port with the PIR sensor, so I’m not sure if thats the problem. Any suggestions?
-
Do u have a link to your relay? Do u hear it clicking?
-
I dont hear it clicking. https://www.creatroninc.com/product/5v-10a-dc-relay-module/?search_query=relay&results=39. Thats the relay i purchased
-
When I run the python script relayPIR.py, the relay clicks and the green light turns on, but once I end that script, the light doesn’t come back on
-
hmm… I will check this tomorrow and will give a result
Installed a fresh Raspbian Stretch Desktop and just created the relayPIR.py which runs perfectly. can start and stop whenever i want the script and even autostart on reboot works great.
Hmm… so we used several options and nothing seems to work… You should delete all things we made and start again.
Maybe just try to create the relay script on point 5.2
-
So I deleted everything and started over. Followed your instructions from point 5.2 and it’s still not working. Really not sure where to go from here
