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-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: AF-979 | Brand: Adafruit

The LV-EZ0 from MaxBotix is a compact ultrasonic rangefinder providing short to long-range detection. It can detect objects from 0 to 254 inches (6.45 m) and provides calibrated range information from 6 inches out to ...

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: AF-1767 | Brand: Adafruit

A low-sensitivity, non-directional vibration switch that acts as a simple motion detector. Inside, a stiff spring is coiled around a central metal pin — when the switch is shaken or moved with enough force, the spring...

SKU: DF-DFR0130-B | Brand: DFRobot

This is a standalone DC voltage meter. It measures 3V-30V with 1% accuracy. Best suited for battery level display. Just apply two wires on the power without any extra circuit or components, it gives the reading st...

SKU: AF-2651 | Brand: Adafruit

The BMP280 from Bosch is a precision barometric pressure and temperature sensor, and the next-generation upgrade to the BMP085/BMP180/BMP183 family. With support for both I2C and SPI communication, it offers flexibili...

SKU: SF-SEN-09269 | Brand: SparkFun

Breakout board for the 3 axis ADXL335 from Analog Devices. This is the latest in a long, proven line of analog sensors - the holy grail of accelerometers. The ADXL335 is a triple axis MEMS accelerometer with extremely...

SKU: SF-DEV-09267 | Brand: SparkFun

The LilyPad Accelerometer is a three-axis accelerometer based on the Analog Devices ADXL335, designed for the LilyPad wearable e-textile system. It detects joint movement, inclination, and vibration, outputting 0–3 V ...

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: DF-SEN0130 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity MQ5 gas sensor is highly sensitive to LPG, natural gas, and town gas, with lower sensitivity to alcohol, cooking fumes, and cigarette smoke. The analogue output is proportional to gas concentration, and se...

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: DF-SEN0160 | Brand: DFRobot

A digital weight sensor kit based on the HX711 24-bit ADC, capable of measuring up to 1 kg. The HX711 is designed specifically for weight scale applications, interfacing directly with a bridge sensor to deliver precis...

SKU: DF-SEN0134 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity MQ-9 gas sensor detects carbon monoxide (CO) and combustible gases including methane and propane. It uses a semiconductor SnO2 sensing element that cycles between high and low temperatures — detecting CO a...
