The PAA5100JE has a slightly different init routine to the PMW3901, you should use the class provided to ensure it's set up correctly:
from pmw3901 import PAA5100
And for the PMW3901, continue using the old class:
from pmw3901 import PMW3901
The example motion.py demonstrates setting up either sensor, and accepts a --board argument to specify which you'd like to use.
