Altimeter Module MS5607
29124
The Altimeter Module MS5607 is a high resolution (20 cm) electronic altimeter sensor that gives highly accurate altitude, pressure, and temperature readings. The module includes a high-linearity barometric pressure sensor and a high-resolution temperature output, allowing implementation of an altimeter/thermometer without any additional sensors. Different operation modes allow the user to optimize for conversion speed or current consumption. The module is designed for use with a large variety of microcontrollers with different voltage requirements. This module is well-suited for high-altitude ballooning and has been used with great success in that role.

QTI Sensor
555-27401
The QTI Sensor is a close-proximity infrared emitter/receiver that is able to differentiate between a dark surface) with low IR reflectivity) and a light surface (with high IR reflectivity). These little sensors can be very handy for line following, maze navigation, or sensing the outer rim of a SumoBot ring. Wiring options allow it to be used digitally for fast black/white line following, or as an analog sensor to detect different shades of gray. A daylight filter is built into the sensor.

DS18B20 TO-92 Digital Thermometer Temperature IC Sensor
604-00070
The DS18B20 digital thermometer is a high-resolution (9-bit to 12-bit) Celsius temperature sensor with a built-in alarm and user-programmable alarm level. The sensor uses a 1-Wire bus that requires data, power and ground. Each sensor has a unique ID, allowing them to be configured and identified on the same bus. Distributed machines, buildings, and process control are common applications. This sensor was brought into Parallax inventory for use in the P2 Quick Byte series as a demonstration device for the 1-Wire Object. This part is easily wired into a breadboard, too.

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).
