Electronic Components Sensors

PIR sensors are used to detect motion from pets/humanoids from about 20 feet away (possibly works on zombies, not guaranteed). This one has an adju...

Wide range, low power temperature sensor outputs an analog voltage that is proportional to the ambient temperature. To use, connect pin 1 (left) t...

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. Wh...

Color: White + Green Dimension: 3.2cm x 2.4cm x 1.8cm (approx) Infrared sensor with control circuit board The sensitivity and holding time can be ...

CdS cells are little light sensors. As the squiggly face is exposed to more light, the resistance goes down. When its light, the resistance is abou...

IR sensor tuned to 38KHz, perfect for receiving commands from a TV remote control. Runs at 3V to 5V so it's great for any microcontrollerTo use, c...

If you've ever ordered and wire up a 9-DOF sensor, chances are you've also realized the challenge of turning the sensor data from an accelerometer...

This little remote control is great for controlling a robot or any other project from across the room. It has 21 buttons and a layout we thought wa...

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 onboar...

Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference, as well as calculations to handle any non-lineari...

This Photo Transistor Light Sensor is a simple sensor that detects ambient light. It's kind of the opposite of an LED - when light hits the little ...

This breakout board is the simplest way to create a project with a single "momentary" capacitive touch sensor. No microcontroller is required here ...

Whether you're an agriculturalist, a professional meteorologist or a weather hobbyist, building your own weather station can be a really rewarding ...

The VL53L0X is a Time of Flight distance sensor like no other you've used! The sensor contains a very tiny invisible laser source, and a matching s...

Need to measure something damp? This epoxy-coated precision 1% 10K thermistor is an inexpensive way to measure temperature in weather or liquids. T...

The LIS3DH is a very popular low power triple-axis accelerometer. It's low-cost, but has just about every 'extra' you'd want in an accelerometer: ...

Put a temperature meter (digital thermometer) anywhere with this very handy display. This panel meter displays the temperature of the attached wate...

It's summer and you're sweating and your hair's all frizzy and all you really want to know is why the weatherman said this morning that today's rel...
