Motion Sensor - is a device that detects movement.

MotionSensor(slot) -> Pin

To create a MotionSensor object, call MotionSensor(slot).

Also you can use short alias Motion(slot).

Returns: Return a digital input Pin for slot.

from pibody import MotionSensor

motion = MotionSensor("A")

.read() -> int

Returns 0 or 1 depending on its state.

motion.read()

from pibody import Motion  # short alias

motion = Motion("A")

while True:
    if motion.read():
        print("Motion is detected")
    else:
        print("Motion is not detected")

.value() -> int

Same as .read(), returns 0 or 1 depending on its state.

value = motion.value()
print(value)
