The SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor is a simple breakout for measuring the moisture in soil and similar materials. The soil moisture sensor is pretty straight forward to use. The two large exposed pads function as probe...

SKU: SF-SEN-13285 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a simple to use motion sensor. Power it up and wait 1-2 seconds for the sensor to get a snapshot of the still room. If anything moves after that period, the ‘alarm’ pin will go low.This unit works great from 5...

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...
