Thanks for the reply and I did raspistill on it's own and that returned
numerous options. I tried raspistill -s, but got the same error message
about check all connections.

If it means anything, the camera red led is lit, which I assume the
camera is working. How can I check the sensor?

I have checked the gpio pins and they are reading what they should, ie
5v between live and ground, and 0v between motion pin and the 5v pin.

The sensor is set up by Vcc to pin 2, 5v pin on the PiZero, then the
ground from the sensor is connected to Pin 6 , while the motion sensor
pin is connected to BCM Pin 4 or pin 7 on the PiZero.

Thanks
