Enviro pHAT packs 4 different sensors, letting you measure temperature, pressure, light level, colour, 3-axis motion, compass heading, and analog inputs. That's up to 10 different variables! It's ideal for monitoring ...

SKU: SF-SEN-15050 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun Triad Spectroscopy Sensor combines three AS7265x spectral sensors with onboard UV, visible, and IR LEDs to measure light across 18 individual frequencies — from 410 nm (UV) to 940 nm (IR). It brings light...

SKU: SF-SEN-12787 | Brand: SparkFun

This is the SparkFun RGB and Gesture Sensor, a small breakout board with a built in APDS-9960 sensor that offers ambient light and color measuring, proximity detection, and touchless gesture sensing. With this RGB and...

SKU: AF-6477 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout makes the AS7343 multi-channel spectrometer easy to add to your project. Instead of only measuring overall brightness, it can quantify how much light is present across different wavelengths, letting you ...

SKU: AF-6476 | Brand: Adafruit

This compact board makes it easy to measure ultraviolet light across three separate bands, giving you independent UVA, UVB and UVC readings instead of a single combined value. That makes it a strong fit for human and ...

SKU: SF-SEN-30161 | Brand: SparkFun

Built around the VCNL4040, this tiny Qwiic Micro breakout provides short-range presence detection for projects where space and weight are tight. It is designed for qualitative sensing: detecting whether an object is p...

SKU: AF-6461 | Brand: Adafruit

This compact breakout combines RGB colour sensing, true lux light measurement and infrared proximity detection in one I2C device. With library code running on your microcontroller, it can read red, green, blue and cle...

SKU: SF-SEN-23220 | Brand: SparkFun

Measure visible and near-infrared light with a compact Qwiic breakout based on the AS7343 multi-spectral sensor. It covers approximately 380nm to 1000nm and is suited to reflected, emitted and transmitted light measur...
