The Sound sensor module is a simple microphone. Based on the power amplifier LM386 and the electret microphone, it can be used to detect the sound strength of the environment. The value of output can be adjusted b...

SKU: AF-1767 | Brand: Adafruit

A low-sensitivity, non-directional vibration switch that acts as a simple motion detector. Inside, a stiff spring is coiled around a central metal pin — when the switch is shaken or moved with enough force, the spring...

SKU: DF-DFR0130-B | Brand: DFRobot

This is a standalone DC voltage meter. It measures 3V-30V with 1% accuracy. Best suited for battery level display. Just apply two wires on the power without any extra circuit or components, it gives the reading st...

SKU: DF-SEN0064 | Brand: DFRobot

A simple flex sensor 4.5" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol - they claim these sensors were used in the original Nintendo Power Gl...

SKU: AF-2651 | Brand: Adafruit

The BMP280 from Bosch is a precision barometric pressure and temperature sensor, and the next-generation upgrade to the BMP085/BMP180/BMP183 family. With support for both I2C and SPI communication, it offers flexibili...
