The 1111 detects changes in infrared radiation which occur when there is movement by a person (or object) which is different in temperature from the surroundings. As the 1111 detects temperature differences, it is well suited to detecting the motion of people by their body temperature. The sensor is also characterized by a narrow sensing area.

Getting Started

Welcome to the 1111 user guide! In order to get started, make sure you have the following hardware on hand:


Next, you will need to connect the pieces:

1111 0 Connecting The Hardware.jpg
  1. Connect the 1111 to the HUB0000 with the Phidget cable.
  2. Connect the HUB0000 to your computer with the USB cable.


Now that you have everything together, let's start using the 1111!

Using the 1111

Phidget Control Panel

In order to demonstrate the functionality of the 1111, we will connect it to the HUB0000, and then run an example using the Phidget Control Panel on a Windows machine.


The Phidget Control Panel is available for use on both macOS and Windows machines. If you would like to follow along, first take a look at the getting started guide for your operating system:


Linux users can follow the getting started with Linux guide and continue reading here for more information about the 1111.

First Look

After plugging in the 1111 into the HUB0000, and the HUB0000 into your computer, open the Phidget Control Panel. You will see something like this:

The Phidget Control Panel will list all connected Phidgets and associated objects, as well as the following information:

  • Serial number: allows you to differentiate between similar Phidgets.
  • Channel: allows you to differentiate between similar objects on a Phidget.
  • Version number: corresponds to the firmware version your Phidget is running. If your Phidget is listed in red, your firmware is out of date. Update the firmware by double-clicking the entry.


The Phidget Control Panel can also be used to test your device. Double-clicking on an object will open an example.

Voltage Ratio Input

Double-click on a Voltage Ratio Input object in order to run the example:

General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:

  • Modify the change trigger and/or data interval value by dragging the sliders. For more information on these settings, see the data interval/change trigger page.
  • Select the 1111 from the Sensor Type drop-down menu. The example will now convert the voltage into a value from -1 to 1 automatically. Converting the voltage to a value from -1 to 1 is not specific to this example, it is handled by the Phidget libraries, with functions you have access to when you begin developing!


Technical Details

General

1111 0 What is infrared sensing.jpg

The 1111 detects changes in infrared radiation which occur when there is movement by a person (or object) which is different in temperature from the surroundings. As the 1111 detects temperature differences, it is well suited to detecting the motion of people by their body temperature. The sensor is also characterized by a narrow sensing area.

Phidget Cable

The Phidget Cable is a 3-pin, 0.100 inch pitch locking connector. Pictured here is a plug with the connections labelled. The connectors are commonly available - refer to the Analog Input Primer for manufacturer part numbers.
