Either a pinout problem, or a sensitivity issue

The module's OUT line was high too often, as if it has a huge amount of noise, so I Googled a bit and found a video by a Russian guy, who only connects the VIN, OUT and GND, ignoring the 3V3 pin. So I've also done that, connecting VIN to 5V, and it *seems* to be more stable. I'll leave it running for a while so I'll collect more data. If someone knows Russian enough to verify what he was doing, please write up some info in the comments.

Lots of information at https://github.com/jdesbonnet/RCWL-0516, most importantly that VIN is the supply voltage for the board, 3V3 is an output, and OUT is a logic (3.3V) output when triggered.
