Radar sensor, RCWL-0516

• Operating Voltage: 5V
• Interface/s: VCC, GND, Out=Data (attention 3V3 is OUTPUT!), CDS not assembled
• Datasheet: https://github.com/jdesbonnet/RCWL-0516
• Remark: They SHOULD NOT be mounted on a breadboard. Lifted with 3 wires makes them work.

• Instructions to commission the device:

  Press the reset button -the one closest to the FTDI cable-
  to enable the AT command line interface via serial port,
  then type something in the next minute or so,
  then it will turn itself off.
