To test the range of the MSP430 PIR motion detector, the prototype board was set on a tripod inside a building and pointed down a hallway at measured distances. An adult and a child would walk back and forth across the hallway and the MSP430 data-logged the PIR signal after it’s processing. The PIR motion detector was able to correctly detect motion out to 36 ft (11 m) and indicate the motion with a LED. Below are the waveforms that were data-logged:
