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-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-5543 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit LSM6DS3TR-C + LIS3MDL is a precision 9 Degree of Freedom (9-DoF) inertial measurement unit on a single breakout board. It pairs the LSM6DS3TR-C accelerometer/gyroscope with the LIS3MDL magnetometer — prov...

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-6349 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit INA238 is a precision DC power monitor capable of measuring current, voltage, and power on either the high or low side of your circuit. With support for up to +85V DC common-mode voltage and a 16-bit ADC,...

SKU: AF-6340 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit INA237 is a precision DC power monitor capable of measuring current, voltage, and power on either the high or low side of your circuit. With support for up to +85V DC common-mode voltage and a 16-bit ADC,...

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-6062 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit INA3221 breakout monitors current, voltage, and power on up to three independent power rails simultaneously over I2C. Each channel supports high or low-side measurement up to +26V DC at ±3.2A with ±1% pre...

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-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...
