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-157 | Brand: Adafruit

IR sensor tuned to 38KHz, perfect for receiving commands from a TV remote control. Runs at 3V to 5V so it's great for any microcontroller.To use, connect pin 3 (all the way to the right) to 5V power, pin 2 (middle) to...

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-3986 | Brand: Adafruit

This T-Slot Photo Interrupter is a simple plastic sensor with two elements - an IR LED and an IR photo-transistor, situated across a U-shaped gap. You can control the IR LED and turn it on to transmit IR light acro...

SKU: AF-386 | Brand: Adafruit

The DHT11 is a basic, ultra low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the data pin (no an...
