Tiny Issue with KEMET's Pyro Sensor module

mudz

UPDATE 17 Oct, 2019 :-                                                                                                                                                   
After accepting their mistake they told me that they will correct the order and ship me the mentioned cable.    

    

Later, I received their email - This part does not come with the cable. What you received is correct.      

Official answer on the link is - Because maker IO is not an official documentation some of the information at times can be incorrect. We have double checked with Kemets site and there is no cable included.   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

So, If you are going to buy KEMET's SS-430 Sensor Module, Do not forget to purchase JST connector cable with it.

    I'm assuming this will be slightly more difficult to achieve with this sensor. The sensor uses a crystal that's sensitive to changes in infrared. The downside being that when you move your hand over the sensor, the crystal will saturate. It would be possible with an extremely quick snapshot of a 'peak' value, but it won't be accurate if you move your hand back and forth. Its primarily meant for human 'sensing'.

  • Sparkfun Electronics has a breakout board for these modules that is part of their Qwiic ecosystem, so cables are more easily available: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15804

    Any idea where to get these? I looked on Amazon but could not find them.
