Optical Sensors - IR & Photo

This package provides a completely assembled and configured Robot Operating System (ROS). ROS is a Linux based meta operating system for your robot with a massive open source community.

The GP2Y0A60SZ infrared (IR) distance sensor from Sharp offers a wide detection range of 4″ to 60″ (10 cm to 150 cm) and a high update rate of 60 Hz. The distance is indicated by an analog voltage.

This is a very small light sensor. A photo resistor (also known as a photodector, or photocell) changes resistance depending on the amount of light it is exposed to.

The H8054 PIR motion detection module provides basic motion detection in a small package. Compatible with the Arduino and Raspberry Pi

The HC-SR501 is a passive infro-red (PIR) sensor which is used to detect motion based on the infrared heat in the surrounding area.

This compact module packs three IR LED/phototransistor pairs onto a 1.25″ × 0.3″ board. The sensors are mounted on a 0.375″ pitch, making this array a great minimal sensing solution for a line-following robot.

The GP2Y0A02 is the longest-range optical distance sensor we carry, featuring a detection range of 8" to 60".

The GP2Y0A21 Sharp distance sensor is a great way to add obstacle avoidance or motion sensing to your robot or any other project. With a detection range of 4" to 32" and an analog voltage indicating the distance, this sensor is very easy to use.

This 12-inch (30-cm) cable has 26 AWG wires and a 3-pin female JST PH-style connector that mates with the connector on 3-pin Sharp analog distance sensors.

The Zumo reflectance sensor array provides an easy way to add line sensing or edge detection to a Zumo robot. It features six separate reflectance sensors, each consisting of an IR emitter coupled with a phototransistor.

The Melexis MLX90614ESF-AAA is a high-accuracy, high resolution, non-contact thermometer with a 90-degree field of view. It has a measurement resolution of 0.02°C and is factory calibrated for a wide -70 to 380°C object temperature range.

Transceivers used in pairs to give robots a simple means for detecting each other. You can use the beacons to build pairs of robots that interact or chase one another, or to make a robot that can identify and return to a home base.

This is the same as TS-036-002 with two extra sensors that can be used to look at the floor for white/black contrast of holes. This kit will only plug into V2.x OOPic II Expansion Boards.

This kit includes two brackets that mount to the Trekker Bumper and act as a catcher for balls. It includes a sensor and the connectors to determine if the Trekker has caught the ball. This kit will only plug into V2.x OOPic II Expansion Boards.

This is a basic object detection sensor that transmits a 38.2kHz IR signal and outputs a 5V analog signal depending on what it sees. The sensors comes with all necessary wires, heat shrink and components to mount on your project.

SuperDroid Trekker Sweeping Ultrasonic & IR Scanner Package. The servo can be programmed to scan at any angle from -90 to +90 degrees. This gives the Trekker a set of eyes. Both sensors are mounted on a common servo and bracket.
