Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 3.3V TTL
- 3.3V TTL means the serial logic signals use 3.3 volt levels rather than 5 volts. This matters because connecting it directly to a 5V-only signal can damage the module or cause unreliable communication unless level shifting is used.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- PIR sensor
- A passive infrared sensor detects changes in heat, usually from a person moving across its view. It matters because PIR sensors are common for lights and alarms, but they can miss people who are present but not moving much.
