The Mini 2-Axis Analog Thumbstick is a compact, self-centring joystick with a black rocker cap, similar in style to PSP joysticks. It provides smooth directional analogue input using two 10 kΩ potentiometers — one for...

SKU: SF-SEN-10264 | Brand: SparkFun

A simple flex sensor 2.2" 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: DF-DFR0067 | Brand: DFRobot

This Gravity-compatible DHT11 sensor provides calibrated digital temperature and humidity readings via a single data pin. With an integrated 8-bit microcontroller and factory-calibrated coefficients stored in OTP memo...

SKU: SF-SEN-09376 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a force sensitive resistor with a square, 1.75x1.5", 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 res...

SKU: EF-EF04092 | Brand: ElecFreaks

The Octopus Light Sensor Brick reads the ambient light level of its surrounding environment and outputs an analog signal. The 3-pin GVS connector makes it easy to plug into micro:bit expansion boards, Arduino, and oth...

SKU: LB-LS0239 | Brand: Little Bird

This e-textiles ambient light sensor uses the TEMT6000 phototransistor to detect light levels. Designed for wearable electronics, it features a compact 20 mm round PCB that's only 0.8 mm thick — thin enough to sew int...

SKU: SF-SEN-14262 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun Sound Detector is a small and very easy-to-use audio sensing board with three different outputs. The Sound Detector not only provides an audio output, but also a binary indication of the presence of sound...

SKU: SF-SEN-09196 | Brand: SparkFun

This basic piezo sensor from Measurement Specialties is often used for flex, touch, vibration and shock measurements. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back and forth. A simple...

SKU: SF-COM-09032 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a joystick very similar to the ‘analog’ joysticks on PS2 (PlayStation 2) controllers. Directional movements are simply two potentiometers - one for each axis. Pots are ~10k each. This joystick also has a se...
