Arduino Sensors

SKU: AF-1361 | Brand: Adafruit

This conductive material, also known as Velostat or Linqstat, is a handy addition to a wearable and sensor hacking toolkit. It is pressure-sensitive, so squeezing the sheet reduces its resistance, making it useful for...

SKU: AF-4890 | Brand: Adafruit

Need to measure something with a very slim sensor? This precision 10K thermistor is an inexpensive way to measure temperature in a small gap, or taped to a flat surface, it's only 0.2mm wide!The resistance in 25°C is ...

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-5578 | Brand: Adafruit

The BS612 is a compact, fully configurable mini PIR motion sensor that detects movement from approximately 3–8 metres away with a 120° detection spread. Its small form factor makes it ideal for unobtrusive motion-sens...

SKU: AF-3930 | Brand: Adafruit

This Reflective IR Sensor is a simple plastic casing with two elements - an IR LED and an IR phototransistor. You can control the IR LED and turn it on to bounce IR off objects to determine their reflectivity. Whit...

SKU: AF-3245 | Brand: Adafruit

Thermocouples are best used for measuring temperatures that can go above 100°C. This is a bare wires stainless-steel tip probe which can measure air or surface temperatures. Most inexpensive thermocouples have a vi...

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-1031 | Brand: Adafruit

This SHARP distance sensor bounces IR off objects to determine how far away they are. It returns an analog voltage that can be used to determine how close the nearest object is. Comes with 8" long 3-JST interface wire...

SKU: AF-164 | Brand: Adafruit

The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is an infrared distance sensor that measures distances from 10 cm to 80 cm by bouncing IR light off objects. It outputs an analogue voltage proportional to distance — approximately 3 V at 10 cm ...

SKU: AF-5836 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout adds eight analogue input channels over I2C, making it a handy way to read potentiometers, LDRs, flex sensors and other analogue or resistive sensors from boards that need more ADC inputs. It’s especiall...
