Measure global position, velocity and heading with the Phidget GPS. Best case accuracy of 2.5m CEP. PhidgetGPS Measure global position, velocity and heading with the Phidget GPS. Best case accuracy of 2.5m CEP. Description Specifications Resources Code Sample The Phidget GPS provides the longitude and latitude of the board's position in signed decimal degree format. The position accuracy (best case) is 2.5m CEP (Circular Error of Probability). The 1040 also provides altitude, heading and velocity as well as the time and date. It will also let you know when it has a satellite fix. The PhidgetGPS has a 3V rechargeable lithium battery to provide "hot starts" by remembering its previous positions. With a live ba...

This inexpensive temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature in the area surrounding the board and connects to an analog input. Precision Temperature Sensor This inexpensive temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature in the area surrounding the board and connects to an analog input. Description Specifications Resources Code Sample Temperature sensor with a range of -30°C to +80°C with a typical error of ±0.75°C in the 0°C to 80°C range. The temperature sensor component is rated at -50°C to +150°C, but the other components on the board, the connector and the cable are rated at -30°C to +80°C. In a fast prototyping environment the temperature sensor board can be pushed to the ratings of the se...

PhidgetTemperatureSensor 4-Input PhidgetTemperatureSensor 4-Input Connect up to four thermocouples to this board to measure the temperature of four different objects. Plugs directly into a USB port. Description Specifications Resources Programming    Thermocouples are widely used to measure extreme temperatures impossible to measure with other types of sensors. J, K, E and T thermocouples are directly supported in the library and return the measured temperature in °C. It is possible to interface o...

This inductive sensor can detect metallic objects within 5mm and behaves like a switch that connects to a digital input. SN04-N Inductive Proximity Sensor - 5mm This inductive sensor can detect metallic objects within 5mm and behaves like a switch that connects to a digital input. Description Specifications Resources Connection This inductive proximity sensor will detect the prescence of a metallic object within 5mm of the surface of the sensor. The detection distance may vary slightly depending on the shape, size, and type of metal the object is made of. It can detect through thin, non-metallic materials and has an LED indicator that turns on when the device is powered, and increases in brightness when an object is detected. Related P...

This capacitive sensor can detect metals and some other materials within 8mm and behaves like a switch that connects to a digital input. Lanbao CR18SCN08DNO Capacitive Proximity Sensor - 8mm This capacitive sensor can detect metals and some other materials within 8mm and behaves like a switch that connects to a digital input. Description Specifications Resources Connection This capacitive proximity sensor is used for non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic objects such as liquid, powder and granular materials; it can also detect materials through glass or plastic walls. Note that the standard detecting distance is based on a standard shape approaching the sensor in a standard way. The real detecting distance will vary depending on the s...
