I found this in a box of parts I got from a friend. I have no idea what brand / model it is or how to hook it up. Everything I've seen was for the Ping))) sensor (3 wires total). Am I going to need to get the Ping)))? I've seen a couple companies sell individual transmit / receivers but I couldn't find any example as to how to hook them up or any source code.

says "CRYSTAL-LOCKED ULTRASONIC MOVEMENT DETECTOR" Left is the receiver Right is the transmitter.

That's just a breakout board for the transmitter and receiver modules, without the required logic controller. You'll need either a controller for it, or to build one (not an easy task). If this box of goodies doesn't also have a controller for this breakout board, it would be far easier and cheaper to spend $10 on a complete ultrasonic sensor instead of trying to make what you have work. If, however, you want to tinker with it, and don't care about the cost or time it will take, by all means give it a go. Just don't expect it to be a couple of resistors and a diode and you're done.

That's exactly what I thought it was going to be. Guess I'll spend the $10 thanks for your help!
