What infrared sensor should I take to be able to detect a person even when motionless? I need the sensor to have 3 paste to be able to connect it to a microcontroler to make a servo. I am a student. thank you for your reply

Hi Del,

Long thread on it here:

Sensor to detect Human Presence

Also, see:

Human Detection

and

Sensor for detecting human presence on factory floor

Also (to help you better):

1. My Goal in detail

(e.g. climb a mountain next year)

2. What things I'm trying to solve

(e.g. establish how high I am)

3. What constraints I have

(e.g. cost, software experience, hardware experience)

4. What hardware, tools and software I'm using

(e.g. part number, link to the tools and software)

5. Diagram or sketch to show the scenario, and what I've attempted

6. Where I believe the problem lies, or which part I need help on

(e.g. unexpected response from the part I'm using)

7. Non-blurry photographs of the set-up (zoomed out for context, and detail), and video if needed
