Arduino Sensors

SKU: AF-158 | Brand: Adafruit

Hall effect sensors detect whether a magnet is near. Useful for non-contact/waterproof type switches, position sensors, rotary/shaft encoders. I tried dozens of different hall effect sensors to see which one wou...

SKU: AF-2384 | Brand: Adafruit

The "poor man's" accelerometer/motion sensor! These spring-vibration switches are medium sensitivity non-directional vibration induced trigger switches. Inside is a medium hardness spring coiled around a long metal...

SKU: AF-161 | Brand: Adafruit

CdS cells are little light sensors. As the squiggly face is exposed to more light, the resistance goes down. When its light, the resistance is about 5-10KΩ, when dark it goes up to 200KΩ. To use, connect one side o...

SKU: AF-4666 | Brand: Adafruit

A compact passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor that detects movement from approximately 3–8 metres away. Much smaller than standard PIR modules, making it ideal for unobtrusive, space-constrained projects. Fully self-...

SKU: AF-1164 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout board will solve all your current-monitoring problems. Instead of struggling with a multimeter, you can just use the handy INA169 chip on this breakout to both measure both the DC current draw and have a...

SKU: AF-6420 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit SPA06-003 is an affordable barometric pressure and temperature sensor from Goertek, ideal for basic environmental sensing and DIY quadcopter builds. It measures 300–1100 hPa (approximately −500 to +9000 m...

SKU: AF-6067 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit LPS28 Pressure Sensor Breakout features the ST LPS28DFW — a barometric pressure sensor with an extended range up to 4060 hPa, far beyond the ~1260 hPa limit of most competing sensors. This makes it suitab...

SKU: AF-3846 | Brand: Adafruit

This is a pre-wired and waterproofed version of the DS18B20 sensor made with a PTFE wire cable. Handy for when you need to measure something far away, or in wet conditions. This sensor is a little more expensive th...

SKU: AF-466 | Brand: Adafruit

The VCNL4010 sensor is a nice way to add a small-distance proximity sensor to your microcontroller project. For longer distances (in the range of cm, you can use a SHARP IR distance sensor, but those are only good ...

SKU: AF-642 | Brand: Adafruit

This is a pre-wired and waterproofed version of the DS18B20 sensor made with a PTFE wire cable. Handy for when you need to measure something far away, or in wet conditions. This sensor is a little more expensive th...

SKU: AF-6407 | Brand: Adafruit

This Bosch BMP581 breakout is a precision barometric pressure, temperature and altimeter sensor for environmental sensing, drones, wearables and projects that need to track height above sea level. It offers much finer...

SKU: AF-6051 | Brand: Adafruit

Add magnetic sensing to your project with this breakout built around the Texas Instruments DRV5032 digital Hall effect sensor. Its digital output changes when the magnetic flux density threshold is crossed, making it ...
