Usually going online and looking for cool new sensors is fun. I look something up, get it, and am amazed when it works exactly as advertised. Thats how it usually goes anyways. Today I have some RADAR based motion sensors that I wanted to use as a replacement for PIR sensors in various projects. Just the idea of using radar sounds cool. In reality though, this sensor (RCWL-0516) has been a pain in the ***!
Have any experience with this sensor (or know about other sensors that are equally as cheap and more reliable)? Let me know down below! I'm eager to hopefully salvage these things since I now have a number of them hanging around.
