Sparkfun 15 in 1 Sensor Kit

Want to start playing with sensors, but don’t know where to begin? This kit includes a variety of basic sensors for any beginner or experienced programmer. With everything included in this kit, you’ll be able to sense acceleration, force, vibration, Infrared light, ambient light, temperature, and more! These are some great basic sensors from varying categories. This huge assortment of sensors makes an amazing gift for that very special electronics geek; they won’t be able to thank you enough!

The Sensor Kit include:

Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - MMA8452Q - Senses acceleration along all three axes

Hall Effect Sensor - Holding a magnet near this sensor will cause the output pin to toggle

AT407 Tilt Sensor - A tilt switch that can easily be used to detect orientation

Piezo Element - These two Piezo elements come in handy when you need to detect vibration or a knock

Insulated Reed Switch - Senses magnetic fields, makes for a great non-contact switch.
IR Receiver Diode - The TSOP382 is a miniaturized receiver for infrared remote control systems.
Infrared LED - This is a very simple, clear infrared LED. These device works well for generic IR systems.
TMP36 - Temperature Sensor - The TMP36 is a low voltage, precision centigrade temperature sensor.
Trimpot 10K with Knob - This 10K trimmable potentiometer has a small knob built right in
0.25" Magnet Square - Plays nicely with the reed switch.
0.5" Force Sensitive Resistor - A force sensing resistor with a 0.5" diameter sensing area.
Mini Photocell - The photocell will vary its resistance based on how much light it’s exposed to.
Flex Sensor - As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases.
Piezo Buzzer/Speaker - This is a small 12mm round speaker that operates around the audible 2kHz range.
Resistor 1.0M Ohm 1/6 Watt PTH - Two 1/6th Watt, +/- 5% tolerance PTH resistors.
