Technical specifications of the sensor set
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Triaxial accelerometer - LIS3DH | Detects acceleration along all three axes, with a range of up to ±3 g. The interface is fully analog. |
| Hall effect sensor | Holding a magnet close to this sensor will switch the output pin. Perfect as a presence detector. |
| Tilt sensor | A simple AT407 tilt switch that can be easily used to detect orientation in a project. |
| Piezoelectric element | Two piezo elements useful for detecting vibrations or knocks. They can be used as knock sensors by reading the voltage at the output. |
| Isolated reed switch | Detects magnetic fields, perfect as a non-contact switch. |
| IR receiving diode | Miniature TSOP382 infrared receiver for remote control systems. |
| IR LED | Very simple, transparent infrared LED. It operates in the 940 to 950 nm range and performs well in general IR systems. |
| TMP36 - temperature sensor | Precise, low-voltage temperature sensor in degrees Celsius. It provides an output voltage linearly proportional to the temperature in degrees Celsius. |
| 10K potentiometer with knob | Trimmable 10K potentiometer with built-in knob. It can be easily adapted to the breadboard. |
| Cubic magnet 0.65 cm | Works with a reed switch. Can be placed in toys or inside a box to create a hidden contracton actuator for the reed switch. |
| Force sensitive resistor 0.5" | It responds to pressure and has a 0.5 inch sensing area. Perfect for sensing pressure (e.g. squeezing). |
| Miniature photocell | A photoresistor that changes resistance depending on the amount of light. Range from 1 kΩ in the light to 10 kΩ in the dark. |
| Flexion sensor | As the sensor is bent, the resistance increases. Useful for detecting movement or position. |
| Piezoelectric buzzer/speaker | A small piezoelectric speaker with a diameter of 12 mm, operating in the audible range of approximately 2 kHz. Can be used to create simple sounds or user interfaces. |
| Resistor 1.0M Ohm 1/6W PTH | Two PTH resistors with a value of 1.0 M Ohm and a power of 1/6 W. Commonly used in breadboards and perfboards. |
