The Adafruit TSL2591 is an ultra-high-range digital light sensor with a massive 600,000,000:1 dynamic range. It features both infrared and full-spectrum photodiodes, allowing you to separately measure infrared, full-s...

SKU: AF-5396 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit VL53L4CD is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance sensor from ST that combines short-range and medium-range sensing in one chip. It measures from approximately 1 mm right up to 1300 mm, bridging the gap between...

SKU: LB-24-TEMP | Brand: Little Bird

A pre-wired DS18B20 digital temperature sensor on a breakout module with three labelled pins for easy connection. The DS18B20 uses the 1-Wire protocol, requiring only a single data line to communicate temperature read...

SKU: DF-SEN0257 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity Analog Water Pressure Sensor measures water or gas pressure and outputs a linear 0.5–4.5 V analogue signal proportional to the applied pressure (0–1.6 MPa). Using the DFRobot Gravity 3-pin interface, it co...

SKU: AF-165 | Brand: Adafruit

The TMP36 is a low-power analog temperature sensor that outputs a voltage proportional to ambient temperature. It operates on 2.7–5.5V and requires no external calibration — simply read the analog voltage and convert ...

SKU: AF-3263 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit Universal Thermocouple Amplifier MAX31856 Breakout reads temperature from virtually any thermocouple type — K, J, N, R, S, T, E, or B — with 0.0078125°C resolution and a measurement range of -210°C to +18...
