Title: PIR sensor
Post by: stern0m1 on March 10, 2016, 02:46:06 PM
Where is the diode on this PIR sensor that removal will decrease power usage?
Thanks

You can remove the diode and apply a solder bridge or leave it in place and solder a jumper across it.

Check out Felix's PIR modification tutorial...
