SKU: SF-SEN-09375 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a force sensitive resistor with a round, 0.5" diameter, sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the ...

SKU: SF-SEN-09376 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a force sensitive resistor with a square, 1.75x1.5", sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the res...

SKU: SF-SEN-19018 | Brand: SparkFun

An Infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. These simple devices operate at 940nm and work well for generic IR systems including remote control and touch-less object sensing. Using a sim...

SKU: SF-SEN-08606 | Brand: SparkFun

A simple flex sensor 4.5" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol - they claim these sensors were used in the original Nintendo Power Gl...

The Texas Instruments CD74HC4067 is a 16-channel analogue multiplexer/demultiplexer IC. It allows you to route one of 16 analogue signals to a single common pin (or vice versa) using just 4 digital control lines plus ...

SKU: SF-SEN-09673 | Brand: SparkFun

A compact force sensitive resistor (FSR) from Interlink Electronics with a 4 mm (0.16″) diameter active sensing area. The resistance changes based on applied pressure — from over 1 MΩ with no pressure down to approxim...

SKU: SF-SEN-00242 | Brand: SparkFun

The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK is an infrared proximity sensor with an analogue voltage output that varies with distance — from 3.1 V at 10 cm to 0.4 V at 80 cm. It uses an IR emitter and position-sensitive detector to measure ...

SKU: SF-SEN-09674 | Brand: SparkFun

This very long force sensitive resistor - over 2 feet - has a sensing area of 0.25x24". This FSR from Interlink Electronics will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area....

SKU: SF-COM-09542 | Brand: SparkFun

The QRE1113 is a small IR reflectance sensor. This sensor is often used in line following robots because, if it can sense if a surface is white or black. There are four pins on the QRE1113 - two control the IR em...

SKU: SF-SEN-17052 | Brand: SparkFun

The MQ-136 is a Hydrogen Sulfide detection sensor with a sensing range of 1 - 200ppm. The sensing element is SnO2, which has lower conductivity in clean air. When H₂S gas exists, the sensor’s conductivity gets higher ...

SKU: SF-SEN-08713 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a piezoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. The harder you press, the lower the sensor’s resistance. Pressing lightly, the resistance changes from infinite to ~300k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but...

SKU: SF-COM-08348 | Brand: SparkFun

The TEMT6000x01 is a compact ambient light sensor that operates as an NPN phototransistor. The more light that hits the sensor, the stronger the base bias, producing an analog output proportional to the ambient light ...

SKU: SF-SEN-12728 | Brand: SparkFun

Infrared proximity sensor made by Sharp. Part # GP2Y0A41SK0F has an analog output that varies from 3.1V at 4cm to 0.3V at 30cm with a supply voltage between 4.5 and 5.5VDC. The sensor has a Japanese Solderless Termina...

SKU: SF-DEV-27924 | Brand: SparkFun

Control a project with muscle activity instead of buttons, levers or joysticks. The MyoWare® 2.0 Muscle Sensor is an all-in-one surface electromyography (sEMG) sensor that detects the electrical signals generated when...

SKU: SF-SEN-26092 | Brand: SparkFun

Visualise magnetic fields in real time with a dense 8x8 array of Hall-effect sensors. This tile lets you observe nearby magnets, current flow in wires and fields generated by electric motors as a live magnetic image.T...

SKU: SF-KIT-27920 | Brand: SparkFun

This all-in-one electromyography (EMG) kit gives you the MyoWare 2 boards needed to experiment with different muscle-sensing setups. Depending on how you configure it, you can visualise muscle activity with the MyoWar...

SKU: SF-SEN-24409 | Brand: SparkFun

This compact breakout board measures moisture in soil and similar materials using two large exposed pads as conductivity probes. As the soil gets wetter, conductivity between the pads increases, resistance drops, and ...

SKU: SF-KIT-27921 | Brand: SparkFun

This all-in-one MyoWare 2 electromyography (EMG) kit gives you the essentials for measuring and visualising muscle activity. It is Arduino-compatible, but the included setup is designed to follow the standalone exampl...
