Installation Precautions

  1. ​Choose a suitable installation location away from air conditioners, curtains, fans, plants, etc. to avoid interference.​
  2. Avoid direct beam irradiation on the ground, walls or doors to minimize reflections and indirect detections.​
  3. Configure appropriate detection distance, sensitivity and delay time to reduce interference from objects.​
  4. Keep the sensor surface clean and free from dust and obstacles.​
  5. Ensure the sensor has enough space around it for proper air circulation.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Powering On

Cause: Power supply issues, damaged USB cable, or insufficient current.
Solution:

  • Use a reliable USB cable and power source capable of providing at least 500 mA.
  • Check for damaged connectors or broken solder joints.
  • If using a battery, ensure it is charged and connected properly.

ESP32C3 Not Detected by Computer

Cause: Driver issues, faulty USB cable, or incorrect boot mode.
Solution:

  • Install the latest CP210x/CH340 drivers depending on your ESP32C3 board.
  • Hold BOOT button during connection for programming mode.
  • Try a different USB cable or port.

Failed Firmware Upload / Flashing Errors

Cause: Incorrect board settings, wrong COM port, or unstable USB connection.
Solution:

  • Select the correct board in your IDE (e.g., Arduino IDE → ESP32C3 Dev Module).
  • Verify the COM port matches your device.
  • Press and hold BOOT while uploading if auto-reset fails.
  • Use a powered USB hub to avoid unstable connections.

Device Keeps Resetting

Cause: Power fluctuations, short circuits, or faulty firmware.
Solution:

  • Check for shorts on GPIO pins or external connections.
  • Ensure the power supply is stable.
  • Re-flash the firmware with the latest version.
