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!

ColorPAL Color Sensor
28380
The ColorPAL is a miniature color and light sensor which, through its RGB LED, doubles as a color generator. For sensing color, the ColorPAL uses its LED to illuminate a sample, one color component at a time, along with a broad-spectrum light-to-voltage converter to measure the light reflected back. The amount of light reflected from the sample under illumination from each red, green, and blue LED can be used to determine the sample’s color. The ColorPAL works with non-fluorescent reflective surfaces, preferably those in contact with its light shroud.

PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor + Protector Stand
910-28015B
The PING))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require you to perform measurements between moving or stationary objects. The sensor measures distance using sonar; an ultrasonic (well above human hearing) pulse is transmitted from the unit and distance-to-target is determined by measuring the time required for the echo return. Output from the PING))) sensor is a variable-width pulse that corresponds to the distance to the target.The protector stand was designed to help fortify the PING))) sensor against collision damage, and to provide a more stylish appearance in doing so. The stand is cut from high-grade aluminum and can be attached to your projects easily.

5-Position Switch
27801
The 5-Position Switch is a normally open contact switch. It has a nice snappy feel, and returns to the center/un-pressed position immediately when it is released. By monitoring the input state of five pins, it’s easy for any Parallax microcontroller to detect whether the switch is in the up, down, left, right, or pressed position. It is possible for more than one position to make contact at a time, such as pressed+right, left+down, or pressed+right+down, for a total of 18 output states.

BME680 Environmental Sensor
28061
Raise your project’s environmental awareness with the BME680. The Bosch Sensortec BME680 Integrated Environmental Unit combines a gas sensor with air pressure, humidity, and ambient air temperature sensing functions within a single package for high performance air quality measurement. Parallax Inc. places the BME680 on a compact PCB with a 6-pin male header. This capable sensor does not have to be difficult to use. The BME680 is supported by BlocklyProp visual programming as well as C libraries for the Propeller multicore microcontroller. Code for other controllers is available from the Bosch Github repository.

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.
