Sensors

Accelerometers, Gyros, & Compasses. GPS Global Positioning System receivers. Measure acceleration and track rotation with these accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses/magnetometers, and combined...

An assortment of unidirectional and bidirectional Hall effect-based current sensors. They offer a very low-resistance current path and electrical isolation between the current source and the measur...

Force-sensing resistors (FSRs) are passive components that exhibits a decrease in resistance when there is an increase in the force applied to the sensor allowing you to create a sensor that is abl...

Want to build your own breathalyzer? This variety of semiconductor gas sensors makes it possible to measure concentrations of gasses such as alcohol, methane, propane, butane, and carbon monoxide.

Light Detection and Ranging or LIDAR is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure distance. LIDAR sensors provide navigation and localization for autonomous g...

These sensors can detect and report the position of a magnetic field along its horizontal axis. The sensor is intended for applications in Automatic Guided Vehicles – or AGVs -, using inexpensive a...

Optical IR Sensors. IR distance sensors make it easy to detect and range objects.

For the cost, these are the best components for object detection. Accurately measure distances over a wide range with our assortment of ultrasonic distance sensors from Maxbotix and Devantech. They...
