# About This is a manual test application for the PIR motion sensor driver. In order to build this application, you need to add the board to the Makefile's `WHITELIST` first and define a pin mapping (see below). # Usage There are two ways to test this. You can either actively poll the sensor state, or you can register a thread which receives messages for state changes. ## Interrupt driven Connect the sensor's "out" pin to a GPIO of your board that can be configured to create interrupts. Compile and flash this test application like: export BOARD=your_board export PIR_GPIO=name_of_your_pin make clean make all-interrupt make flash The output should look like: kernel_init(): jumping into first task... PIR motion sensor test application Initializing PIR sensor at GPIO_8... [OK] Registering PIR handler thread... [OK] PIR handler got a message: the movement has ceased. PIR handler got a message: something started moving. PIR handler got a message: the movement has ceased. ## Polling Mode Connect the sensor's "out" pin to any GPIO pin of you board. Compile and flash this test application like: export BOARD=your_board export PIR_GPIO=name_of_your_pin make clean make all-polling make flash The output should look like this: kernel_init(): jumping into first task... PIR motion sensor test application Initializing PIR sensor at GPIO_10... [OK] Printing sensor state every second. Status: lo ... Status: lo Status: hi ...
