PirSensor Class

This is the code block for using a PIR motion sensor with Windows 10 IoT Core. Check the Supported Devices section to see the list of tested sensors.

Usage

To use this block in your project, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to your git project folder using Command Prompt and run git submodule add https://github.com/ms-iot/pir-sensor
2. Next, run git submodule update
3. Open your project solution in Visual Studio and right-click on the solution and select Add -> Existing Project. Select pir-sensor -> PirSensor -> PirSensor.csproj.
4. Once PirSensor is added to the solution explorer, right-click on References in your project and select Add Reference -> Projects -> Solution. Check PirSensor and select OK.
   You should now be able to use PirSensor objects in your project.

Note: Every time you clone your project after its initial creation, you must run the following commands in the project's root folder:

• git submodule init
• git submodule update

Constructors

• PirSensor(int, SensorType): Creates a new instance of the motion sensor taking the GPIO pin and type (SensorType.ActiveLow or SensorType.ActiveHigh) as arguments.

Note: See the Supported Devices section to see what sensor type to use.

Events

• motionDetected: Occurs when motion is detected.

Methods

• Dispose: Performs tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
