Sensors

SKU: AF-1375 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout board is the simplest way to create a project with a single "toggle" capacitive touch sensor. No microcontroller is required here - just power with 1.8 to 5.5VDC and touch the pad to activate the sens...

SKU: DF-DFR0028 | Brand: DFRobot

This is an arduino tilt sensor. It is used to detect orientation. Inside the sensor, there is a ball that make contact with the pins when the case is upright. Tilt the sensor over and the balls don't touch, thus n...

SKU: SF-SEN-10289 | Brand: SparkFun

This AT407 basic tilt switch can easily be used to detect orientation. Inside the can is a ball that make contact with the pins when the case is upright. Tilt the case over and the balls don’t touch, thus not making a...

SKU: DF-SEN0523 | Brand: DFRobot

This IR break-beam photoelectric switch detects objects by sending an invisible infrared beam from an emitter to a receiver. When a non-transparent object passes between the two and breaks the beam, the receiver outpu...

SKU: DF-SEN0216 | Brand: DFRobot

The Water Flow sensor measures the rate of a liquid flowing through it. The YF-S401 water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body, flow rotor and hall effect sensor. It is usually used at the inlet end to det...

SKU: EC-SPS40201S | Brand: Elecrow

This Elecrow 4-channel IR reflective sensor module combines four infrared emitter/receiver pairs with a mainboard that processes all signals. When an object enters the detection range, the corresponding channel output...

SKU: SF-COM-15141 | Brand: SparkFun

Rotary encoders can be used similarly to potentiometers. The difference being that an encoder has full rotation without limits (It just goes round and round). They output gray code so that you can tell how much and in...

SKU: SF-SEN-14520 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun Capacitive Touch Breakout provides a single momentary touch button using the AT42QT1011 capacitive sense chip. Simply supply 1.8–5 V and ground — the chip handles all touch monitoring and outputs a digita...

SKU: PL-1137 | Brand: Pololu

The GP2Y0A02 is the longest-range optical distance sensor we carry, featuring a detection range of 8″ to 60″ (20 cm to 150 cm). The high maximum detection distance makes this sensor a viable alternative to ...

SKU: AF-381 | Brand: Adafruit

This is a pre-wired and waterproofed version of the DS18B20 sensor. Handy for when you need to measure something far away, or in wet conditions. While the sensor is good up to 125°C the cable is jacketed in PVC ...

SKU: PL-837 | Brand: Pololu

The Vishay TSOP34156 is a general-purpose modulated IR receiver for IR-based remote-control projects. It features a wide operating voltage range and allows for relatively high data rates; this particular unit is tune...

SKU: LB-PIR-CABLE | Brand: Little Bird

A compact passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor housed in a protective case with a 45cm cable. Detects motion within a 6-metre range and 120° field of view, making it ideal for security systems, automatic lighting, and...

SKU: SF-KIT-19518 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun PIR Breakout Starter Kit includes everything needed to get started with passive infrared motion detection. Built around the Panasonic EKMB1107112 PIR sensor, this kit's breakout board offers ultra-low 1µA...

SKU: DF-SEN0447 | Brand: DFRobot

A capacitive proximity sensor with an adjustable detection range of 1–10 mm, capable of detecting both metallic and non-metallic objects. Unlike inductive sensors that only respond to metals, this capacitive sensor de...

SKU: AF-4534 | Brand: Adafruit

The Bonsai Buckaroo is a compact add-on board for micro:bit and Adafruit CLUE that turns your board into a plant care monitoring and watering system. Bolt it on with 5 screws to get a buzzer, motor driver, and soil mo...

SKU: DF-SEN0433 | Brand: DFRobot

A digital vibration sensor module that detects vibration using an internal inductance coil. When vibration is detected, the module outputs a LOW signal and its on-board LED indicator lights up. Sensitivity is adjustab...

SKU: DF-SEN0388 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a non-contact ultrasonic ranging sensor of high-performance from URM09 series, employing standard PH2.0-3P Gravity vertical interface. It provides an accuracy of 1% within an effective measuring range of 2~500...
