The Vishay TSSP58P38 is a unique modulated IR receiver that is designed for IR brightness detection instead of data communication for remote control. This sensor can be used with a 38 kHz modulated IR emitter an...

SKU: DF-SEN0068 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a piezoresistive force sensor. The harder you press, the lower the sensor's resistance. Pressing lightly, the resistance changes from infinite to ~300k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but the re...

SKU: SF-SEN-00242 | Brand: SparkFun

The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK is an infrared proximity sensor with an analogue voltage output that varies with distance — from 3.1 V at 10 cm to 0.4 V at 80 cm. It uses an IR emitter and position-sensitive detector to measure ...

SKU: AF-334 | Brand: Adafruit

If you've got a resistive touch screen that you'd like to use, you'll need this breakout! It has a fine pitch (0.5mm) connector soldered onto it and it's broken out into the 4 resistive wires of the panel. A petite...

SKU: AF-444 | Brand: Adafruit

Add a tiny joystick to your project with this PSP thumbstick. This is a replacement component for PSP1000's, but we think they'd make for a great little joystick/thumbstick add-on for a wearable, or portable pro...

SKU: AF-1918 | Brand: Adafruit

An analog UV light sensor breakout based on the GUVA-S12SD photodiode, detecting the 240–370nm range covering UVB and most of the UVA spectrum. An on-board op-amp amplifies the tiny photodiode current to a readable vo...

SKU: EF-EF04061 | Brand: ElecFreaks

A linear sliding potentiometer module from the ElecFreaks Octopus series. Provides an analogue voltage output proportional to the slider position, making it useful as a variable input for controlling volume, brightnes...

SKU: SF-DEV-15162 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun gator:bit v2.0 is an all-in-one “carrier” board for your micro:bit that provides you with a fully functional development and prototyping platform. Almost every pin on the micro:bit is broken out to pads t...

SKU: TB-XC4574 | Brand: Little Bird

The light sensor, also known as the light dependent resistor (LDR). Typically, the resistance of the light sensor will decrease when the ambient light intensity increases.   Linksprite Page   Specificat...

SKU: LI-650-0022 | Brand: Little Bird

The littleBits Temperature Sensor responds to the ambient temperature surrounding its probe, sending a stronger signal as the temperature increases. It's a simple way to add temperature sensing to your littleBits circ...

SKU: TB-RN3442 | Brand: Little Bird

A 47 kΩ NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor in a compact 5 mm radial package. NTC thermistors decrease in resistance as temperature rises, making them ideal for temperature sensing, thermal protection, a...

SKU: TB-RN3436 | Brand: Little Bird

A 1 kΩ NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor in a 5 mm radial dipped-epoxy package. The resistance decreases as temperature increases, making it suitable for temperature sensing, thermal compensation, and ...
