Photo Interrupter GP1A57HRJ00F
○ NZ$3.47 excl GST
○ In stock: 22
Description: This sensor is composed of an infrared emitter on one upright and a shielded
infrared detector on the other. By emitting a beam of infrared light from one upright to the other,
the sensor can detect when an object passes between the uprights, breaking the beam. Used for
many applications including optical limit switches, pellet dispensing, general object detection, etc.
Gap width = 10mm
A breakout board will be available soon.

RFID Button - 16mm
○ NZ$6.40 excl GST
○ In stock: 5
○
Description: This is a simple, thumbnail-size RFID tag. These tags are great for sensing presence,
identification, etc., and they're small, so they can be easily sewn into clothing or inserted into
enclosures. Each tag comes with a unique 32-bit ID code and is not reprogrammable. The carrier
frequency of this tag is 125kHz, so it works great with our ID-2, ID-12 and ID-20 RFID readers.
SparkFun tested this RFID tag with one of our ID-12 readers and measured a maximum read
distance of about 32mm.
We stock the ID-20 readers for even greater reading distance or you can build your own antenna
with the ID-2 reader.
Features:
32-bit unique ID - non-reprogrammable
125kHz read frequency
EM4001 ISO based RFID IC
Manchester encoding
Dimensions:
Diameter: 16mm
Thickness: 1.85mm
Temperature Sensor - LM335A
○ NZ$2.22 excl GST
○ In stock: 32
○
Description: The LM335A is a very easy-to-use analog temperature sensor. The LM335A works
like a Zener diode with a breakdown voltage proportional to absolute temperature at 10mV/?K.
Hook up a resistor from 5V and GND, and the LM335A will output an analog voltage of 2.98V (298
Kelvin is 25C or room temperature). The output of the sensor is linear, and when calibrated at 25?
C the LM335A has typically less than 1?C error over a 100?C temperature range. The sensor can
operate continuously from ?40?C to 100?C.
Calibration of the sensor requires a pot connected across the sensor, with the wiper of the
potentiometer connected to the adjustment pin of the LM335.
Comes in a through-hole, TO-92 package.
Features:
Directly calibrated in ?Kelvin
Operates from 400 ?A to 5 mA
Less than 1? dynamic impedance
Easily calibrated
Wide operating temperature range
Low cost

Ultrasonic Range Finder - Maxbotix LV-EZ0
○ NZ$53.29 excl GST
○ In stock: 3
○
This is the fantastically easy to use sensor from Maxbotix. We are extremely pleased with the size,
quality, and ease of use of this little range finder. The serial interface is a bit odd (it's RS232
instead of standard TTL), but the PWM and Analog interfaces will allow any micro to listen easily
enough. The sensor provides very accurate readings of 0 to 255 inches (0 to 6.45m) in 1 inch
increments with little or no dead zone!
Maxbotix is offering the EZ0, EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, and EZ4 with progressively narrower beam angles
allowing the sensor to match the application. Please see beam width explanation below.
You can program these with examples from this page Here
Control up to 10 sensors with only two pins! Checkout the Maxbotix FAQ listed below.
Features:
42kHz Ultrasonic sensor
Operates from 2.5-5.5V
Low 2mA supply current
20Hz reading rate
RS232 Serial Output - 9600bps
Analog Output - 10mV/inch
PWM Output - 147uS/inch
Small, light weight module
Infrared Emitters and Detectors
○ NZ$3.78 excl GST
○ In stock: 38
○
Side-looking Infrared Emitters and IR Detectors. These simple devices operate at 940nm and work
well for generic IR systems including remote control and touch-less object sensing. Using a simple
ADC on any microcontroller will allow variable readings to be collected from the detector. The
emitter is driven up to 50mA with a current limiting resistor as with any LED device. The detect is a
NPN transistor that is biased by incoming IR light.
We've seen these used for distance sensing, tv remotes and object sensing so these are the Swiss
Army knife of sensors and a great piece to add to any starters kit.
Here's a link to hooking them up:

Read the detector with an analog read and you can do easy distance measuring - albeit rather
prone to interference

This could be used with the Bells which are usually placed at the temple, when they are taken
from the alter maybe Krishna and Radha will React to that.
