Sharp GP2Y0A60SZLF IR Sensor with Carrier 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. TS-067-000 $11.95 90 Ready to Ship!	Photoresistor 5mm GL5537 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. TE-231-537 $1.50 27 Ready to Ship!
Photoresistor 5mm GL5516 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. TE-231-516 $1.50 118 Ready to Ship!	H8054 Mini Pyroelectric Motion Detector Module The H8054 PIR motion detection module provides basic motion detection in a small package. Compatible with the Arduino and Raspberry Pi TE-232-805 $12.60 10 Ready to Ship!
HC-SR501 Adjustable PIR Motion Detector 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. TE-230-501 $6.15 12 Ready to Ship!	QTR-3A Reflectance Sensor Array 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. TS-064-000 $4.95 15 Ready to Ship!
QTR-3RC Reflectance Sensor Array This compact module packs three IR LED/phototransistor pairs onto a 1.25″ × 0.3″ board. TS-063-000 $4.95 58 Ready to Ship!	Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F Analog Distance Sensor 20-150cm The GP2Y0A02 is the longest-range optical distance sensor we carry, featuring a detection range of 8" to 60". TS-062-000 $14.95 16 Ready to Ship!
Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Analog Distance Sensor 10-80cm 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. TS-061-000 $13.95 69 Ready to Ship!	3-Pin Female JST PH-Style Cable for Sharp Distance Sensors (30cm) 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. TE-192-000 $0.99 32 Ready to Ship!
Pololu Zumo Reflectance Sensor Array 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. TS-060-000 $9.95 9 Ready to Ship!	MLX90614ESF-AAA Infrared Temperature Sensor 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. TS-057-000 $19.95 10 Ready to Ship!
Pololu IR Beacon Transceiver Pair 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. TS-047-000 $49.95 9 Ready to Ship!	Trekker Wheel Encoder Package (4 Sensors) 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. TS-036-004 ~~$29.95~~ $21.95 1 Ready to Ship!
Trekker Soccer Ball Catching Sensor and Brackets 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. TS-022-000 ~~$19.95~~ $14.95 4 Ready to Ship!	Photo IC 38kHz Infrared Object Detection Kit 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. TS-018-000 $6.75 7 Ready to Ship!
Trekker Sweeping SRF04 Ultrasonic & IR Scanner Pkg 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. TS-007-004 $74.95 4 Ready to Ship!
