Did you look at the circuitry on page 4 of the datasheet? You have a
sensor that requires A LOT of support circuitry before you can
interface it to a uC like the OOPic.

You should be looking at the PIR Sensor Module (with the dome cover a
little further down the page at Futurelec) that includes all of the
electronics. These are easy to interface. I have several that I use
for Halloween effects.
