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-5990 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit Infrared IR Remote Transceiver combines a high-powered IR transmitter and a sensitive 38 kHz IR receiver on a single board. With two 940 nm IR LEDs (one vertical, one horizontal) driven by an onboard N-ch...

The Feather nRF52840 Sense takes the popular Feather nRF52840 Express and adds a suite of on-board environmental and motion sensors. It features Bluetooth Low Energy, native USB, CircuitPython and Arduino support, plu...

SKU: AF-5913 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit STEMMA Reflective Photo Interrupt Sensor uses a TCRT1000 right-angle optical module to detect reflective surfaces. An onboard IR LED emits light, and when an object reflects it back to the IR phototransis...

SKU: AF-2349 | 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. White &...

The Adafruit Proximity Trinkey is a tiny USB-A development board built around the APDS9960 multi-function sensor and an ATSAMD21 microcontroller. Plug it into any USB port and you instantly have proximity, colour, amb...

SKU: AF-5970 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit TSMP96000 "Code Learning" Infrared IR Receiver Breakout detects IR signals across a wide frequency range of 20–60 KHz, making it perfect for "code learning" applications where you need your device to work...

SKU: AF-5939 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit Infrared IR Remote Receiver is a sensitive, wide-range 38 kHz IR receiver board with two selectable sensor orientations — one vertical and one horizontal. A slide switch lets you choose which sensor to re...

SKU: AF-4667 | Brand: Adafruit

The BL412 is a compact passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor designed for detecting movement from people and animals at distances of approximately 3–8 m. Much smaller than standard PIR modules, it is well suited for un...
