Can I use a Motion sensor with a BrightSign player?

Follow Avatar support@brightsign.biz

Yes, you can attach a motion sensor to your BrightSign player using the GPIO port. When the motion sensor is triggered, the BrightSign player receives it as a button press (i.e. GPIO Event).

    Most PIR-sensors need 5v, not 3.3v, so maybe someone can give a wire-diagram.

    I suggest you to use a motion sensor with a relay output so you can connect directly to the GPIO port of brightsign without worries.

    If your sensor gives you a voltage at the output you can use a relay with the coil rated at this voltage to give a dry contact to the GPIO port of Brightsign..

    I use Banner Engineering sensors. Had great success building a "touchless" kiosk with GPIO triggers and PIR sensors.

    Working on a project now using Radar sensors so that lighting is not an issue.

    I power them from a separate p/s because they want 10v-30v.

    Using a motion sensor as a Button Press. How can I keep subsequent activations of the sensor from restarting the playfile before it's completed its cycle?

    @Sandler put in a Timout on the sensor that is a long at the file?
