Odometers are extremely useful for cars, they tell you how far you have gone, wouldn’t it be nice if you were able to have a device that does the same for electrical current? The LTC4150 SparkFun Coulomb Counter Break...

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-12040 | Brand: SparkFun

The INA169 is a “high-side current monitor,” which means that you place a resistor (a “shunt resistor”) on the positive power rail and the INA169 measures the voltage drop across that resistor. The INA169 outputs a sm...

SKU: SF-SEN-11859 | Brand: SparkFun

This is not your typical temperature sensor. The TMP006 Breakout can measure the temperature of an object without making contact with it. By using a thermopile to detect and absorb the infrared energy an object is emi...

SKU: SF-BOB-11722 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a clever little breakout board for both the RGB and R/G illuminated rotary encoders. On one side, it breaks out all of the RGB pins to standard, breadboard friendly, 0.1" headers. Turn it over and it has a foo...

SKU: SF-SEN-13162 | Brand: SparkFun

The ZX Distance and Gesture Sensor is a touchless sensor that is capable of looking for simple gestures. Developed in conjunction with XYZ Interactive, the sensor uses their GestureSense® technology to recognize the d...

SKU: AF-3251 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit Si7021 is a temperature and humidity sensor from Silicon Labs with a PTFE filter for protection against dust and contaminants. It provides ±3% relative humidity accuracy over 0–80% RH and ±0.4 °C temperat...

SKU: AF-512 | Brand: Adafruit

A PSP/Xbox-style analog thumb joystick with a built-in press-to-select button, mounted on a breakout board designed for easy panel mounting. Unlike simple directional joysticks, this analog stick provides precise, pro...

SKU: SF-SEN-12909 | Brand: SparkFun

This is the MS5803-14BA Pressure Sensor Breakout, a high resolution pressure sensor with both an I2C and SPI interface. This MEMS pressure sensor measures the absolute pressure of the fluid around it which includes ai...

SKU: SF-SEN-12829 | Brand: SparkFun

If you’ve had ideas for a project that depends on the ability to sense different spectrums of visible light and react based on those measurements, the ISL29125 breakout board may be just what you need. The ISL29125 br...

SKU: SF-SEN-12784 | Brand: SparkFun

This is the SparkFun “Time-of-Flight” Range Finder, a breakout for the VL6180 distance sensor. Unlike most distance sensors that rely reflected light intensity or reflected angles to determine range, the VL6180 use...

SKU: SF-SEN-12566 | Brand: SparkFun

The ALS-PT19 is a compact SMD ambient light sensor, significantly smaller than standard through-hole alternatives like the TEMT6000. Functioning as an NPN phototransistor, it provides an analogue voltage output propor...

SKU: AF-3538 | Brand: Adafruit

Add heat-vision to your project with the Adafruit AMG8833 Grid-EYE Breakout. This sensor from Panasonic contains an 8×8 array of infrared thermal sensors that returns 64 individual temperature readings over I2C — like...

SKU: AF-5810 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout combines Vishay's VCNL4020 proximity sensor and ambient light sensor on one compact I2C board, making it a handy choice when you want to detect nearby objects and measure light levels at the same time. T...

SKU: AF-5832 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout brings the INA228 power monitoring chip out to an easy-to-use board for measuring DC current, bus voltage and calculated power on either the high side or the low side of a circuit. It combines a wide com...

SKU: AF-6403 | Brand: Adafruit

This compact breakout uses Melexis' MLX90632 FIR sensor to read the temperature of a target without making contact. It's handy for checking surfaces that are hot, cold, moving, delicate or awkward to reach with a prob...

SKU: AF-6388 | Brand: Adafruit
