sensors?

Dec 11, 2003 3 Replies

Could anyone tell me a place where I can buy a variety of sensors for AVR? I'm looking for PIR, temp, humidity, ultrasonic, and whatever else is interesting to fool with.



Thanks, sam


You can search for sensors on Google better if you can narrow down how you will hook them up to the AVR. Will you be using I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO?

has sensors.

The Devantech Ultrasonic modules are pretty nifty:

I've got a code sample for using this with an ATmega128 here:

Here's a sample using their CMPS03 Magnetic Compass module:

A neat IR sensor is the SHARP GP2D12. You should be able to find these from a number of sources. It produces analog out so hook it up to your A/D converter input. I have a code sample for that, too :-)
