SKU: DF-SEN0293 | Brand: DFRobot

The RP-L-170 is a long, flexible thin-film pressure sensor with a 170mm active area for detecting both static and dynamic pressure. As pressure is applied, the sensor's resistance decreases — making it easy to read wi...

SKU: SF-COM-14624 | Brand: SparkFun

A panel-mount rotary potentiometer with a 100 kΩ logarithmic taper. Turn the knob and the resistance changes smoothly — ideal for volume controls and other audio applications where a logarithmic response matches human...

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-2716 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit SPW2430 Silicon MEMS Microphone Breakout is a compact, low-cost microphone module that detects sound and converts it to an analog voltage — no external bias resistor or amplifier needed. With a frequency ...

SKU: SF-SEN-09199 | Brand: SparkFun

The Minisense 100 from Measurement Specialties is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. Useful for detecting vibration and ‘tap’ inputs from a user....

SKU: PL-1479 | Brand: Pololu

This carrier board is designed to work with any of the MQ-series gas sensors, simplifying the interface from 6 to 3 pins—ground, power and analog voltage output—that are broken out with a 0.1" spacing, making the boar...

SKU: AF-2748 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit ALS-PT19 is a compact analog light sensor that provides a simple voltage output proportional to ambient light intensity. Its spectral response closely matches that of the human eye, thanks to a high infra...

SKU: SF-SEN-08680 | Brand: SparkFun

These are very thin variable potentiometers. By pressing down on various parts of the strip, the resistance linearly changes from 100Ohms to 10,000Ohms allowing the user to very accurately calculate the relative posit...

SKU: SF-SEN-00250 | Brand: SparkFun

10K thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient. Good choice for temp-sensing applications when you need a reliable NTC thermistor. Vishay part #: NTCLE100E3103JB0 Note: You get only one thermistor. Document...

SKU: AF-245 | Brand: Adafruit

The 2-Axis Joystick provides analogue input for your projects using two independent 10K potentiometers — one per axis. It reports position as either voltage or resistance, making it compatible with a wide range of mic...

SKU: AF-270 | Brand: Adafruit

A Type-K thermocouple with fiberglass braid insulation, rated to 500°C — far beyond the ~200°C limit of standard vinyl-insulated thermocouples. The bare bead probe design is suited to measuring both air and surface te...

SKU: PL-136 | Brand: Pololu

The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is an infrared distance sensor that outputs an analogue voltage corresponding to the distance of the nearest object within its 10–80 cm detection range. Using IR triangulation, it provides relia...

SKU: AF-1935 | Brand: Adafruit

That's one tiny microphone! At about the size of a mature aphid, this wired Electret Microphone is perfect for your FONA. This microphone's very similar to our PCB-mount Elecret Microphone but is significantly sma...

SKU: SF-SEN-09673 | Brand: SparkFun

A compact force sensitive resistor (FSR) from Interlink Electronics with a 4 mm (0.16″) diameter active sensing area. The resistance changes based on applied pressure — from over 1 MΩ with no pressure down to approxim...
