Life has its ups and downs, so why not measure them? The MPL3115A2 is a MEMS pressure sensor that provides Altitude data to within 30cm (with oversampling enabled). The sensor outputs are digitized by a high reso...

SKU: AF-374 | Brand: Adafruit

These 1-wire digital temperature sensors are fairly precise (±0.5°C over much of the range) and can give up to 12 bits of precision from the onboard digital-to-analog converter. They work great with any microcontro...

SKU: AF-386 | Brand: Adafruit

The DHT11 is a basic, ultra low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the data pin (no an...

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: SF-SEN-11005 | Brand: SparkFun

This non-invasive current sensor (also known as a split-core current transformer) clamps around the supply line of an electrical load to measure how much current is flowing through it. The sensor acts as an inductor, ...

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-SEN0177 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity Laser PM2.5 Air Quality Sensor uses laser scattering to measure suspended particulate matter concentrations in the air. It detects particles from 0.3 to 10 µm in diameter and outputs digital concentration ...

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: DF-SEN0183 | Brand: DFRobot

The CMPS11 is a 3rd-generation tilt-compensated magnetic compass module that combines a 3-axis magnetometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis accelerometer. An onboard Kalman filter fuses gyro and accelerometer data to re...

SKU: AF-483 | Brand: Adafruit

Detect particles and/or make a cool random number generator with this handsome Geiger counter kit. This easy-to-make pack of parts turns a simple Geiger-Muller tube (included) into a portable blink, beeping radiati...

SKU: AF-574 | Brand: Adafruit

Put a current meter anywhere with this very handy display. This panel meter requires a DC voltage to run, and then has two thick gauge wires to measure current draw. A shunt is already on board so its very easy to hoo...

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-BOB-10160 | Brand: SparkFun

Here is a real time clock based on the DS3234 Real Time Clock IC. The DS3234 is a low-cost, extremely accurate SPI bus real-time clock with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator and crystal. Th...

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: DF-SEN0207 | Brand: DFRobot

INTRODUCTION Most ultrasonic distance sensors aren't waterproof which can be a problem if you need your project to withstand the elements outdoors. No need to worry any more! We have develop...

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: DF-DFR0030 | Brand: DFRobot

A digital capacitive touch sensor from DFRobot's Gravity series. It detects touch through the same capacitive sensing technology used in smartphones — even through thin cloth or paper. The sensor outputs a digital hig...

SKU: DF-SEN0018 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a simple to use arduino 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 sensor c...
