Using other microcontrollers

Hello,
I want to control the PIR sensor from another microcontroller. I need to know if the sensor is set up for direct connection to another microcontroller.

Are all resistors supplied on the PIR board to allow direct conection, if the microcontroller is at 5 volt?

The PIR provides 5v out from the signal pin when active; if you have a controller that will accept a TTL level signal then you can use it.  For additional information, please contact Parallax as they manufacture that sensor; we carry it as a convenience for our customers.
