Not getting a response from a connected PIR sensor

Question

I have a PIR sensor which I'm using connected to a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B as part of a Magic Mirror project. I'm running this module for the sensor.

I've had the Motion Sensor working before, but now it's not, no idea what changed. So I need help.

I've tested the sensor itself with an LED and some batteries. It's working.

I've also tested the power pins on the RPI with an LED and can confirm that they are also working.

When I run this simple Python script

from gpiozero import MotionSensor

pir = MotionSensor(4)
while True:
    if pir.motion_detected:
        print("Motion detected!")

Nothing is printed to the console.

VCC = 2 (5.5v) GND = 6 Data = 7 (GPIO 4).

I think you can see it from here: What other tests can I run to see why the RPI is not getting the readout from the PIR?

Answer 1

Code:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

GPIO.setup(4, GPIO.IN) #PIR

try:
    time.sleep(2) # to stabilize sensor
    while True:
        if GPIO.input(4):
            print("Motion Detected...")
            time.sleep(5) #to avoid multiple detection

Hope this will solve your problem. Cheers!
