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!

SF000/B Laser Rangefinder – 50 M
28056
-
The Lightware SF000/B is an ultra-small and light open-frame LIDAR laser rangefinder designed for size and weight constraint applications. Using a time-of-flight system to make very fast, accurate distance and speed measurements. Accuracy is not affected by the color or texture of the surface, nor the angle of incidence of the laser beam. The SF000 is virtually immune to background light, wind and noise, making it an ideal sensor to detect unexpected obstacles.

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.

LaserPING 2m Rangefinder
28041
-
The LaserPING 2m Rangefinder provides an easy method of distance measurement. This near-infrared, time-of-flight (TOF) sensor is ideal for taking measurements between moving or stationary objects. This sensor works well in applications where ultrasonic sensors fail: soft objects and angled surfaces.

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.

Air Quality Click
64202
-
Parallax speeds the process of Propeller 2 development through our partnership with MikroE, who has created a family of 850+ Clicks for most I/O functions you may envision. For each of the Click boards stocked by Parallax, you will find a documented Spin 2 code example on our Propeller GitHub Object Exchange. Connect your Click boards to the Propeller 2 Evaluation Board or P2-EC Edge Breakout Breadboard using the #64008 P2 to MikroBus Click Adapter.

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.

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).

UV Light Sensor
28091
-
The UV Light Sensor measures ambient ultraviolet intensity in the 200 to 370 nanometer range, within the solar ultraviolet UVA, UVB, and UVC light spectrum. The sensor has a built-in amplifier with adjustable levels. The UV Light Sensor may be used outdoors in a variety of applications including datalogging and closed-loop control, such as for activating watering or greenhouse vents.

PIR Mini Sensor
28033
-
Do you have a big idea that needs a small motion sensor? The PIR Mini Sensor’s compact form factor is ideal for small-scale projects, and those where the electronics need to be hidden or protected. The narrow, vertically oriented board can slip through a hole in an enclosure to hide and protect the electronics, leaving only the small lens visible on the outside.

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.
