“I bought one of these a while ago. It worked ok but was delivered in a thin jiffy bag and the components on the PCB were very bent by the time I received them. I contacted PiHut and asked them to use cardboard boxes in the future.
I ordered five or six of them a couple of weeks ago and they came in a thin jiffy bag again. All but one or two had bent components... Is it really too much to use better packaging? I'd be happy to pay the extra cost.”
“It works but was a huge effort finding out how to use it. 1) It comes with no instructionsor even a link to a datasheet, this is dreadful - PiHut - please can you show just a little more customer respect? This appears to be a description of the device: http://henrysbench.capnfatz.com/henrys-bench/arduino-sensors-and-input/arduino-hc-sr501-motion-sensor-tutorial/ 2) You must use a stable supply voltage, I originally tried a battery driven voltage regulator but had all kinds of problems. Then used a lab power supply and it worked ok. Haven't tried it with a raspberry pi yet.”
