up and running
making the motion sensor work with a LED:
first we tried using the a circuit loop with the relay but that did not work. so we stripped down the breadboard to see the simplest circuit loop. once that tripped we added the LED and it work!
it is important to note that program code we used [we downloaded it from the parallex website] needs 40 sec to warm up so that the motion sensor can adjust to its surroundings.
