      @chrisdub https://lmgtfy.app/?q=raspberry+pi+activate+gpio :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

      Thank you for your fast answer, ´ve found some articles for activating the GPIOs.

      I´ve followed this tutorial for testing my PIR Sensor: https://www.einplatinencomputer.com/raspberry-pi-pir-bewegungsmelder-ansteuern/

      The author doesn´t mention, that activating the GPIOs is necessary. Now I´m a little bit confused.

      When I´m starting the script, I´m getting the following output. When I´m moving in front of the sensor, nothing happens.

      Just in case it helps, a picture from my setup:

      @majorc said in MMM-NewPIR v3:

      @chrisdub have you activated the pins at your Raspberry OS?

      Good morning.
      To be honest, I don´t really know. Is there a special way to activate the PINS? Maybe via raspi-config?!

      Hey there Guys,
      I´m stuck and I need your help.

      My Code:

      		{
      			module: 'MMM-NewPIR',
      			position: 'top_left',
      			configDeepMerge: true,
      				config: {
      				debug: false,
      				screen: {
      					delay: 2 * 60 * 1000, // 2 * 60 * 1000 = 2 Minuten
      					turnOffDisplay: true,
      					mode: 1,
      					ecoMode: true,
      					displayCounter: true,
      					text: "Auto Turn Off Screen:",
      					displayBar: true,
      					displayStyle: "SemiCircle",
      					governorSleeping: false,
      					displayLastPresence: true,
      					LastPresenceText: "Last Presence:",
      					useTouch: false,
      					delayed: 0
      						},
      				pir: 	{
      					usePir: true,
      					gpio: 21,
      					reverseValue: false
      						}
      					}
      		 },	
      

      My HC-SR501 Sensor is wired as following:
      VCC (+5V) > GPIO PIN 2
      OUT > GPIO PIN 21
      GND > GPIO PIN 6

      Problem:
      The timer runs down, the display switches off and then stays black.
      It seems as the movement is not recognized by the PIR.

      I already tried another PIR, same failure.
      Switching to another PIN > 22 with editing the config results with the same “failure”.

      At the moment I don´t know, where the source of my problem is buried and I could use some help from you.

      Thank you in advance
