SKU: SF-SEN-10293 | Brand: SparkFun

A simple piezo element that can be used as both a sensor and a small audio transducer. When flexed or tapped, it generates a voltage that can be read by a microcontroller, making it ideal for knock and vibration detec...

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: LB-LR0003 | Brand: Little Bird

This sound detection and microphone module provides both analogue and digital outputs for detecting sound with a microcontroller. The analogue output (AO) delivers a real-time voltage signal proportional to sound inte...

SKU: AF-1075 | Brand: Adafruit

A force-sensitive resistor (FSR) that changes its resistance based on how much pressure is applied. This Interlink 406 model features a 38 mm square sensing region, making it useful for detecting physical pressure, sq...

SKU: DF-SEN0206 | Brand: DFRobot

INTRODUCTION We can divide temperature measurement in to two types: contact and non-contact. Contact measurement can only accurately measure temperature when the testing object and the se...

SKU: AF-5463 | Brand: Adafruit

This rubber sheet is made of the same carbon-black impregnated rubber material that our conductive rubber cord uses. Traditionally it would be used for EMF shielding, or conductive gaskets - but it's very fun to play ...

SKU: SF-SEN-14727 | Brand: SparkFun

This miniature straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 100g of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that cha...

SKU: SF-SEN-09375 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a force sensitive resistor with a round, 0.5" diameter, sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the ...

SKU: LB-10K-5 | Brand: Little Bird

A pack of five NTC thermistor temperature probes, each with a 1-metre wire lead for remote temperature sensing. These 10 KΩ (at 25°C) NTC sensors are sealed in a cylindrical metal probe for durability and are suitable...

SKU: LB-LR0285 | Brand: Little Bird

The LM35DZ is a simple temperature sensor IC for projects that need low-cost temperature measurement with good accuracy around room temperature.It is suited to remote sensing applications and runs from a broad 4 to 30...

SKU: SF-SEN-09088 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a very small light sensor. A photocell changes (also called a photodetector, photo resistor, CdS or photoconductive cell) resistance depending on the amount of light it is exposed to. These little sensors make...

SKU: AF-161 | Brand: Adafruit

CdS cells are little light sensors. As the squiggly face is exposed to more light, the resistance goes down. When its light, the resistance is about 5-10KΩ, when dark it goes up to 200KΩ. To use, connect one side o...

SKU: SF-SEN-12650 | Brand: SparkFun

The AD8232 SparkFun Single Lead Heart Rate Monitor is a cost-effective board used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. This electrical activity can be charted as an ECG or Electrocardiogram and output as a...

SKU: AF-5578 | Brand: Adafruit

The BS612 is a compact, fully configurable mini PIR motion sensor that detects movement from approximately 3–8 metres away with a 120° detection spread. Its small form factor makes it ideal for unobtrusive motion-sens...

SKU: EF-EF04093 | Brand: ElecFreaks

Octopus Analog UV sensor (GUVA-S12SD) is the UV electric brick in our Octopus series, the basic design is from the Octopus electric bricks and the setting of its outlook, the PCB fixing hole and the connectors are the...

SKU: LB-LS1673 | Brand: Little Bird

This Potentiometer Module is from our Micro:bit 24 bit kit. You're probably already familiar with using a potentiometer as they are commonly found on many electrical devices, such as in audio equipment where they a...

SKU: AF-1070 | Brand: Adafruit

This sensor can detect flexing or bending in one direction. They were popularized by being used in the Nintendo PowerGlove as a gaming interface.These sensors are easy to use, they are basically resistors that chan...

SKU: SF-ROB-09453 | Brand: SparkFun

This version of the QRE1113 breakout board features an easy-to-use analog output, which will vary depending on the amount of IR light reflected back to the sensor. This tiny board is perfect for line sensing applic...

SKU: DF-DFR0076 | Brand: DFRobot

This Gravity analog flame sensor detects fire and infrared light sources in the 760–1,100 nm wavelength range. With a 60° detection angle and analogue output proportional to flame distance, it's widely used in firefig...

SKU: AF-5464 | Brand: Adafruit

This rubber sheet is made of the same carbon-black impregnated rubber material that our conductive rubber cord uses. Traditionally it would be used for EMF shielding, or conductive gaskets - but it's very fun to play ...
