Detects sound that is greater than the ambient noise (adjustable sensitivity). Can operate from 3.3V to 5V.

Ultrasonic distance sensor determines the distance to a target by measuring time lapses between the sending and receiving of the ultrasonic pulse. This is an easy-to-use...

PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive, low-power, easy to use and don't wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in appliances and gadgets used in homes or businesses. They are often referred to as PIR, "Passive Infrared", "Pyroelectric", or "IR motion" sensors.

Measure the brightness of ambient light with a 16-bit sensor.

Most low cost soil sensors are resistive style, where there's two prongs and the sensor measures the conductivity between the two. These work OK at first, but eventually...

The Water Flow sensor measures the rate of a liquid flowing through it. The YF-S201 water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body, flow rotor and hall effect sensor. It is usually used at the inlet end to detect the amount of flow. When liquid flows through the sensor, a magnetic rotor will rotate and the rate of rotation will vary with the rate of flow. The hall effect sensor will then output a pulse width signal. Connect it to a microcontroller and you can monitor multiple devices such as your coffee maker, sprinkler or anything else, and control the water flow rate to suit your needs!

Vishay has a lot of light sensors out there, and this is a nice simple lux sensor that's easy to add to any microcontoller. Most light sensors just give you a number...

Check out this Tilt sensor module! Use it for security cameras, robotics, and all your Maker projects.

Perfect for educational uses, the Adafruit Simple Soil Moisture Sensor is low cost, and easy to use. This is a simple resistive style moisture sensor,...

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 down to ADC levels. Can also be used for impact sensing or a flexible switch.

This is a simple to use motion sensor. Power it up and wait 1-2 seconds for the sensor to get a snapshot of the still room. If anything moves after that period, the 'alarm' pin will go low.

The URM04 v2.0 Ultrasonic Sensor is developed based upon our popular URM37 ultrasonic sensor. The RS485 interface allows a number of sensors working together. Up to 32 URM04 may be connected together in a network.

Weight Sensor Module is based on HX711, which is a precision 24-bit analog-to-digital convertor designed for weight scale and industrial control applications to interface directly with a bridge sensor. It not only has a few basic functions, but also contains high integration, fast response, immunity, and other features. This weight sensor lowers the cost of the electronic scale, and at the same time improving the performance and reliability. The input interface is compatible with Arduino I/O port. The output adopts compact terminal that makes the sensor easier to connect. It's the best choose for electronic enthusiast to do some tiny home scale.

PIR sensors are used to detect motion from pets/humanoids from about 5 meters away (possibly works on zombies, not guaranteed). This sensor is much...

The light sensor Bit can turn your circuit on and off by detecting the brightness or darkness of the environment they are in. control your circuit's with light! The amount of light shining on the sensor will change how your circuit behaves. It's a great way to activate your circuit, and is perfect for alarms!

The pressure sensor is a touch-activated module; give its pad a little squeeze to activate it. The more pressure you apply, the more signal it sends out. Put it in front of a vibration motor to control how much it shakes!
