SKU: SF-DEV-08777 | Brand: SparkFun

Detecting temperature changes has never been easier. The MCP9700 is a small thermistor type temperature sensor. This sensor will output 0.5V at 0 degrees C, 0.75V at 25 C, and 10mV per degree C. Doing an analog to dig...

SKU: SF-SEN-08712 | Brand: SparkFun

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

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-08681 | 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 po...

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: SF-SEN-11574 | Brand: SparkFun

Heart rate data can be really useful whether you’re designing an exercise routine, studying your activity or anxiety levels or just want your shirt to blink with your heart beat. The problem is that heart rate can be ...

SKU: AF-178 | Brand: Adafruit

A 100 mm linear soft potentiometer (ribbon sensor) manufactured by Spectra Symbol. This pressure-sensitive ribbon controller features an adhesive backing for easy mounting and provides a variable resistance output bas...

SKU: AF-182 | 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 change ...

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-3246 | Brand: Adafruit

A neat little breakout board designed for mounting a PSP-style mini thumbstick to your project. The board features panel-mount friendly hole placement and dual-sided headers for mechanical stability when connected to ...

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: DF-SEN0162 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity Analog UV Sensor V2 uses a GUVA-S12SD photodiode to detect ultraviolet radiation in the 200–370 nm (UV-A) wavelength range. It outputs a linear analogue voltage signal proportional to UV intensity, making ...

SKU: AF-576 | Brand: Adafruit

Put a temperature meter anywhere with this very handy display. This panel meter displays the temperature of the attached waterproof 1% thermistor in °C. It does require a DC voltage to run, at 4.5-30VDC. It has revers...

SKU: SF-SEN-12642 | 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 so...

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: SF-SEN-09674 | Brand: SparkFun

This very long force sensitive resistor - over 2 feet - has a sensing area of 0.25x24". This FSR from Interlink Electronics will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area....

SKU: DF-SEN0203 | Brand: DFRobot

The DFRobot heart rate sensor is a thumb-sized heart rate monitor designed for Arduino microcontrollers. This sensor is a pulse sensor which is developed based on PPG (PhotoPlethysmoGraphy) techniques. This ...

SKU: SF-COM-09542 | Brand: SparkFun

The QRE1113 is a small IR reflectance sensor. This sensor is often used in line following robots because, if it can sense if a surface is white or black. There are four pins on the QRE1113 - two control the IR em...

SKU: SF-COM-09426 | Brand: SparkFun

A compact resistive analog joystick similar to those found on the PSP1000. Unlike traditional thumbstick joysticks, this one has a distinctive flat "slide" feel with a removable rubber thumb pad. Connect to an Arduin...

SKU: AF-333 | Brand: Adafruit
