Phidget Touch Sensor The 1129 is a capacitive touch sensor and can detect a touch through plastic, glass, or paper. We recommend a material thickness of up to 1/2”. The sensor can work as a close proximity sensor, sensing objects at a distance of up to 1/2” from the board in all directions without direct contact. On the bottom side of the Touch Sensor there is a small exposed metallic pad. A soldered connection can be made to the pad to increase the size and dimensions of the touchable area,...

The RobotGeek Pushbutton is a self-contained Arduino Button board that makes it easy to add a pushbutton to your Arduino Project. This RobotGeek Pushbutton has a built in pull-down resistor, so the signal can be read as a digital input from your Arduino or other microcontroller. This Arduino Button Board has the standard RobotGeek three pin connection so it plugs right into the RobotGeek Sensor Shield to get you up and running immediatly. As with all RobotGeek sensors, the hole mounting...

Rotation sensor, 24 Inch cable included. This sensor rotates 300 Degrees.  The output voltage increases as the potentiometer is turned counterclockwise.

Mini Joy Stick Sensor Two axis joystick with 10k potentiometers and a momentary switch. Comes with (2) 24-inch sensor cables. This miniature joystick has two axes and a push button.  Pressing down on the Joystick pin will make a mometary contact which can be connected to a digital input through the terminal blocks. NOTE: This joystick auto-centers itself. When you let go of it the joystick will snap back to it's center position. Board Dimensions: 5.1 x 3.0 cm Mounting Holes: 3.0 x 2.3...

60mm Slider, with 24-inch cable. This device is a variable resistor similar to a potentiometer. When the slider is at one side it will read zero and 1000 when the slider is at the other end. Board Dimensions: 3.0 x 9.1 cmMounting Holes: 2.3 x 6.8 cm This product is part of the Phidgets family! Phidgets are an easy to use set of USB-based building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC. A wide array of sensors, I/O devices, and controllers are available. To view the entire...

The RobotGeek Tilt Sensor is a fast and flexible way to add an Arduino tilt senor Project. By reading this sensor as a digital input, you can determine if an object the sensor is mounted on tilted or not. This sensor is unique because of the orientation of its ports. Instead of having the tilt switch soldered into the board, there are two 2-pin female ports. This allows you to orient your tilt vertically or horizontally to suit your project best. If you need your tilt switch to be further away...
