It was only after I got the first Autobot "deformable" lamp that I discovered there was a version with a microwave doppler detector built in. Obviously I had to get one, and it's got a very different internal arrangement. It's not just the addition of a detector.
The "LED" on the detector is actually a light sensor which is shielded from light inside the case.
The sensor chip does appear to be a PIR chip, but didn't yield much data in a quick search.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

Some 30 years back I toyed around with an old Philips PC that had a game named Autobots. Likely just a coincidence
I like the way it has fins on it like SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket for reentry steering.
I just bought the clamp meter, it seems the E variant as shown has slightly tighter specs and the most expensive compared to the A variant which is half price.
Thermal compound for wankers, heatsink compound for real people!
BigClive..Can we "see" Doppler sensors….No? then how?
I thought bigclive used an iPad to record videos… He mentions a “Lenovo phone”. Is that what he’s been using to record videos now?
If I wanted to power the leds from this unit, what type of power supply could i use?
why is there an autobot symbol on it????
doesnt the heatsinks look the the transformer logo? Maybe thats why they call it autobot…
I love these dang videos…

I second the possibility of there being a dirty USB power supply running your phone, I've crashed my phone since it froze from a noisy USB supply and it automatically rebooted itself. Try a TCL A502DL with Open Camera. You will be pleased.
That is why I will never touch an ANDROID device with a barge pole and stick with my IOS powered iPhone 7SE.
You really do sounds like nicolas cage
This chip is an 8675309. Let me Google that … 😄
I'm curious about something: Does a Class Y capacitor limit leakage current enough that it won't trip the Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (or whatever the UK term is for it)?
