Parallax Inc.
We’re making some changes at Parallax to really focus in on what we do best: our educational programs and our own custom multicore microcontrollers. This focus means more curriculum on learn.parallax.com, more tools and support for the Propeller, more American manufacturing, and a massive sale to simplify the product line!

PIR Sensor With LED Signal
555-28027
The PIR Sensor detects motion by measuring changes in the infrared (heat) levels emitted by surrounding objects. When motion is detected a LED lights up the lens dome as a visual signal, and the module also outputs a high signal on its output pin.

FlexiForce Sensor Demo Kit
30056
The Flexiforce sensor features a pressure sensitive disc pad on the end of an ultra-thin (0.008 in.) flexible printed circuit ribbon that can be easily integrated into force measurement applications. Note that the flexible ribbon is to accomodate optimal placement of the pressure-sensitive disc; the sensor does not measure force applying curvature to the ribbon itself.

X-Band Motion Detector
32213
The X-Band Motion Detector’s sensor is a common component in security systems and automatic door openers and can detect movements within a room, yard, or even on the other side of a wall. The X-Band Motion Detector operates in the X-band frequency, at 10.525 GHz and indicates detected movements with oscillations in its high/low output. Sensitivity is manually adjustable with a potentiometer, offering direct line of sight detection from roughly 8 to slightly over 30 ft (~2.4 to 9+ m).
