INTRODUCTION This is an Arduino Carbon Monoxide Sensor. It uses MQ7 probe to detect Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentrations in the air from 20 to 2000ppm. The sensitivity ca...

SKU: DF-FIT0227 | Brand: DFRobot

The MQ7 is a simple-to-use Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor suitable for detecting CO concentrations in the air. It offers a wide detection range from 20 to 2000 ppm, making it ideal for safety monitoring and air quality p...

SKU: DF-SEN0138-R | Brand: DFRobot

A miniature snap-action switch, also trademarked and frequently known as a micro switch, is an electric switch that is actuated by very little physical force.Micro switches are very widely used; among their appl...

SKU: SF-BOB-08891 | Brand: SparkFun

This breakout board provides a convenient PCB adapter for MQ-series gas sensors (MQ-3, MQ-4, MQ-6, MQ-7, and MQ-8). It converts the sensor's oversized, oddly-spaced pins into a standard breakout format that's easy to ...

SKU: SF-SEN-08880 | Brand: SparkFun

The MQ-3 is an alcohol gas sensor suitable for detecting alcohol concentration in the air, similar to a breathalyser. It provides an analog resistive output based on alcohol concentration, with high sensitivity and fa...

SKU: DF-SEN0139 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a K type Thermocouple (Temperature sensor) which is very popular for 3D printers such as Ultimaker and Makerbot. You can hardly damage them or mishandle them. You just need an additional IC (Like an AD595) ...

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: 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...

RFID (radio-frequency identification) is the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields, for the purposes of identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. This is the ID-12LA, a very simpl...

SKU: DF-SEN0147 | Brand: DFRobot

This time we reinvented the line-tracking sensor. Beyond recognizing two specific colors or output through digital or analog only, the Smart Gray Sensor has integrated both digital and analog output features. In ...

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-13835 | Brand: SparkFun

The SST Liquid Level Sensor provides single-point liquid detection via a TTL-compatible push/pull output. Its miniature optical design allows installation in tight spaces where traditional float switches won't fit. A...

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 ...
