2 years ago You could put an led on gpio 13 to see if it turns off and on, or just stays on.
Or print out the status every loop().
Serial.print( digitalRead(PIRpin) );
It was on during the boot. --- Setup PIRpin = 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
This is the only code for the pir -- pin 13, pulled-down, and interrupt on rising edge.
int PIRpin = 13;
pinMode(PIRpin, INPUT_PULLDOWN)
gpio_set_intr_type((gpio_num_t)PIRpin, GPIO_INTR_POSEDGE);

2 years ago ok will try that when I get home. Didn't think the problem might be the esp32cam module itself. As I said before on an Arduino uno, PIR sensor functions correctly. And as you were saying.. if I put an LED on pin 13 and it stays on.. then esp32cam module is faulty, correct?
Thanks

2 years ago ok its definitely not the ESP32. I went ahead and used a simple code to verify. And is working as expected. Maybe its the sensor i'm using thats not working well with your code.. I'm using an HC-SR501. The bigger ones. Not the the mini sensors. Maybe thats the issue??? Thanks again for your time with this.
`const int PIN_TO_SENSOR = 13;
int pinStateCurrent = LOW;
int pinStatePrevious = LOW;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(PIN_TO_SENSOR, INPUT);
}
void loop() { pinStatePrevious = pinStateCurrent; pinStateCurrent = digitalRead(PIN_TO_SENSOR); Serial.println(pinStateCurrent);
if (pinStatePrevious == LOW && pinStateCurrent == HIGH) { Serial.println("Motion detected!"); } else if (pinStatePrevious == HIGH && pinStateCurrent == LOW) { Serial.println("Motion stopped!"); } }`

2 years ago Ok figured out my issue.. was running everything on 3.3v.. as i'm using this on some 18650 batteries.. Once I switched everything to 5v ( rewire PIR direct to 5v, was using VCC to power PIR). All is working as expected. Hoping wiring PIR direct to batteries will be fine but not sure if it will work right when it goes below 4v when the batteries start to drain. Oh well my issue. Thanks again for your time and effort.
Not sure what you want from me but looking at serial monitor output.

I know the PIR sensor is working fine. I connected it to an Arduino uno using a simple example code. And works as expected. Show "High" when active and "LOW" when no movement. If I leave it alone, will constantly send avi clip. And when I "/disable" Monitor will show constant "PIR Interupt>>3"
Please help.
Thanks
