| | The MOT2002 needs a period of stillness so it can establish a baseline before using any of the filters in the SensorType selection. You can aid this process by setting a short data interval (e.g. 1ms) before setting the SensorType. If you can't guarantee a period of stillness for the filter to calibrate to when it first starts up, you should either set up your program to ignore the out of range errors, or use the raw VoltageInput value and come up with your own rules for how to quantify movement. |

Step 4: Connect Wireless
Step 1: Install Phidgets Library
1. First, you need to install the libusb-1.0 development libraries. For example, in Debian based distributions:
apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
You’ll also need a C compiler and builder, if you don’t already have one installed.
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install make
Step 1: Install Phidgets Library
2. Next, download and unpack the Phidgets library:
● libphidget22
Step 1: Install Phidgets Library
3. Use the following commands in the location you unpacked to install the library:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Step 1: Install Phidgets Library
4. (Optional) You can also download and unpack the following optional packages:
● phidget22networkserver - Phidget Network Server, which
enables the use of Phidgets over your network
● phidget22admin - Admin tool to track who is connected to your
Phidgets when using the network server
● libphidget22extra - Required for phidget22networkserver
and phidget22admin
● libphidget22java - The Java libraries for Phidget22
For installation instructions for these packages, see the README file included with each one.
Step 2: Connect Devices
● Connect Power Jack
● Connect VINT Device(s)
● Connect Ethernet to a Router or Switch in the same network as your Linux machine
Step 3: Verify Connection
1. The easiest way to verify that your libraries are working properly is to compile and run an example program. Download and unpack this C example that will
detect any Phidget:
● HelloWorld C Example
Step 3: Verify Connection
2. Next, open the terminal in the location where you unpacked the example. Compile and run using:
gcc HelloWorld.c -o HelloWorld -lphidget22
sudo ./HelloWorld
If everything is working, you should receive a “Hello” line for each Phidget channel that is discovered:
You need to run it with sudo in order to be able to access USB devices. In order to use
Phidgets without sudo, you need to set your udev rules. See the Advanced Information page on the final slide of this guide for details.
Now that the SBC's ethernet connection is verified, it can be connected to wifi.

About
The MOT2002 detects changes in infrared radiation caused by the movement of a person or object whose temperature differs from their surroundings. The sensor will return 0 when there is no movement detected. When there is movement detected, the sensor will return a non-zero value.
As the MOT2002 detects temperature differences, it is well suited to detecting the motion of people by their body temperature.
Explore your Phidget Channels Using the Control Panel
Double click on the Voltage Input channel class under the port your MOT2002 is connected to.
You can see the voltage from the sensor fluctuate when motion is detected.

The Phidget Cable is a 3-pin, 0.100 inch pitch locking connector. Pictured here is a plug with the connections labelled. The connectors are commonly available - refer to the Analog Input Primer for manufacturer part numbers.
The Change Trigger is the minimum change in the sensor data needed to trigger a new data event.
The Data Interval is the time (in ms) between data events sent out from your Phidget.
The Data Rate is the reciprocal of Data Interval (measured in Hz), and setting it will set the reciprocal value for Data Interval and vice-versa.
You can modify one or both of these values to achieve different data outputs. You can learn more about these properties here.
Before you open a Phidget channel in your program, you can set these properties to specify which channel to open. You can find this information through the Control Panel.
1. Open the Control Panel and double-click on the red map pin icon:
2. The Addressing Information window will open. Here you will find all the information you need to address your Phidget in your program.
See the Phidget22 API for your language to determine exact syntax for each property.
The objects detected by the MOT2002 must be emitting infrared light in order to be detected, which means they must be giving off heat or be a significantly different temperature than the background it’s contrasted against.
The MOT2002 needs a period of stillness so it can establish a baseline before using any of the filters in the SensorType selection. You can aid this process by setting a short data interval (e.g. 1ms) before setting the SensorType. If you can't guarantee a period of stillness for the filter to calibrate to when it first starts up, you should either set up your program to ignore the out of range errors, or use the raw VoltageInput value and come up with your own rules for how to quantify movement.
