This is an IO expansion module that based on the chip MCP23017. The module can expand additional 16 IOs. It can set 8 IIC addresses, which means with this module, the microcontroller can connect 8 modules, and expand ...

SKU: DF-SEN0311 | Brand: DFRobot

A commercial-grade waterproof ultrasonic distance sensor with UART serial output. The A02YYUW features a much smaller blind zone (3 cm) and wider sensing angle than many comparable sensors, plus penetration through sm...

SKU: LB-LR0240 | Brand: Little Bird

With the sound module, we can detect the presence of loud sounds. While this module has a microphone on it, our Arduino does not have the brains to interpret or record the audio directly (there are some shields you...

SKU: DF-DFR0129 | Brand: DFRobot

A capacitive touch sensor kit for Arduino based on the MPR121 touch controller. Includes three interchangeable touch pads — a scroll wheel, a keypad with backlight support, and a grid pad for gesture and pattern recog...
