Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/KIT-19518:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The SparkFun 1uA PIR Breakout Starter Kit comes with everything you need to get started using Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors. PIR sensors are great for detecting motion in a small area around the sensor. The 1µA SparkFun EKMB1107112 PIR Breakout is a simple breakout equipped with an EKM-series PIR sensor from Panasonic®. The EKMB-series PIR sensors are optimized for small movements to offer motion-sensing options for battery powered applications due to the very low standby current consumption (1µA). PIR sensors do not return specific distance data but instead monitor for IR light coming from objects in their field of view and will activate their signal when motion is detected in their sensing area. This makes them perfect for applications such as building automation for energy saving, automated on/off lighting control, security, appliances, and IoT. This PIR sensor offers digital output across 32 zones at 5m detection distance with 90° x 90° detection area. Additionally, the PIR in this kit already has headers soldered on making it easier to get started. This kit also includes a SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic, a mini breadboard, a 3-pack of jumper wires, and a reversible USB-A to Micro-B cable. **Note:** The sensitivity of passive infrared sensors is influenced by environmental conditions, so a performance evaluation test under representative conditions is recommended.
