Air Quality Sensors The SEN55 environmental node is a straightforward all-in-one sensor solution platform for the accurate measurement of various environmental parameters such as particulate matter volatile organic compounds (VOCs) oxidizing gases such as nitrogen

Optical Sensor Development Tools SparkFun Spectr Sens Breakout AS7263 NIR

Air Quality Sensors This is a simple-to-use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensor suitable for measuring LPG (primarily propane and butane) concentrations in the air. The MQ-6 can detect gas concentrations from 200 to 10000 ppm.This sensor has a high sensitivity and fa

Board Mount Motion & Position Sensors This basic piezo sensor from Measurement Specialties is often used for flex touch vibration and shock measurements. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back and forth. A simple resistor should get the voltage

Air Quality Sensors The MQ-9B is a CO and CH gas-detection sensor from Winsen. The sensing material of the MQ-9B is SnO2 which has a low conductivity in clean air. It detects carbon monoxide (1.5V) by cycling between high and low temperatures. The sensor s conduct

Pressure Sensor Development Tools This is a force sensitive resistor with a square 1.75x1.5" sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force the lower the resistance. When no pressure is bein

Photodiodes The BPW34 is a tiny general purpose PiN photodiode. This photodiode has a ton of uses one of which is to use it is a mini solar cell to power your project. The cell is sensitive to a wide range of light wavelengths (430-1100nm) so it should produc

Air Quality Sensors SparkFun Air Quality PM1/PM2.5/PM10 Sensor - BMV080 (Qwiic)

Board Mount Motion & Position Sensors The Minisense 100 from Measurement Specialties is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. Useful for detecting vibration and 'tap' inputs from a user. A small AC and large voltage (up

Optical Sensor Development Tools A simple breakout PCB for the GP1A57HR photo interrupter (also known as a photogate photodiode or phototransistor). This PCB has three connections for PWR GND and Signal.When the gate is clear SIG will be high (>4.9V). When the gate is blocked b
