Essential Sensors
A new version of our Essential Sensor Kit is now available along with two new PIR Breakout Kits!
Welcome back, everyone! It's Friday and you know what that means? New products! This week, we have three new kits to show off to you and we'll start it off with the new Essential Sensor Kit V2. This kit includes all of the most vital sensors currently available and only changes out a few parts that have been most effected by the supply chain issues plaguing our community. Following that, we have two new PIR Breakout Kits that require absolutely zero soldering! These kits are great for detecting motion in a small area and optimized for small movements to offer motion-sensing options for battery powered applications. Now, let's take a closer look at this week's new products!
Want to start playing with sensors, but don't know where to begin? The SparkFun Essential Sensor Kit V2 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.
The SparkFun 1uA PIR Breakout Starter Kit comes with everything you need to get started using Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors. PIR sensors are great for detecting motion in a small area around the sensor. The 1µA SparkFun EKMB1107112 PIR Breakout is a simple breakout equipped with an EKM-series PIR sensor from Panasonic®. The EKMB-series PIR sensors are optimized for small movements to offer motion-sensing options for battery powered applications due to the very low standby current consumption (1µA).
Meanwhile, the SparkFun 170uA PIR Breakout Starter Kit comes with everything you need to get started using Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors. The 170µA SparkFun EKMC4607112K PIR Breakout is a simple board equipped with an EKM-series PIR sensor from Panasonic®. The EKM-series PIR sensors are optimized for small movements to offer motion-sensing options for continuously powered applications.
That's it for this week. As always, we can't wait to see what you make. Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or tag us on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Please be safe out there, be kind to one another, and we'll see you next week with even more new products!
