Picture of productPIR Sensor
from Parallax




he PIR (Passive Infra-Red) Sensor is a pyroelectric device that detects motion by measuring changes in the infrared (heat) levels emitted by surrounding objects. When motion is detected the PIR Sensor outputs a high signal on its output pin. This logic signal can be read by a microcontroller or used to drive an external load. Dual output modes and a sensible design that performs within stated datasheet specifications are a few reasons over 100,000 units are in use around the world. Catalog number: 46458. Brand: Parallax.

As a bonus, we have added a fourth sensor/hardware set. Once you master the basics, use all 4 QTI sensors together to make your own custom applications. Learning to use the QTI is easy with these illustrated instructions and example BASIC Stamp code written by Andy Lindsay, author of Robotics with the Boe-Bot.

This kit includes all the circuit and sensor hardware you need to add QTIs to your Boe-Bot:
  • (4) 10 k 1/4 watt resistors
  • (4) 3-pin male-male headers
  • (4) QTI sensor modules

 Thermocouple Kit
from Parallax




Thermocouples provide a low-cost, reliable means of measuring temperature over a wide range. Interpreting thermocouple output can be challenging because of the very low Seebeck output voltage (fractional to low millivolts) and the need to provide cold junction temperature compensation. The Parallax Thermocouple Module uses the Dallas/Maxim DS2760 High Precision Li+ Battery Monitor IC to process the thermocouple output. The Thermocouple Module has the following features:
  • 1-Wire interface allows multiple devices with just one BASIC Stamp I/O pin
  • Cold Junction measurement: 0C to +127C (0.125C resolution)
  • Low power consumption: Active current = 90 A max, Sleep current: 2 A max

In addition to the interface module, the kit includes 3 Thermocouple elements: K-type (Chromel / Alumel), J-type (Iron / Constantan), and T-type (Copper / Constantan). This kit is ideally suited to work with a BASIC Stamp BS2P24, BS2P40 or BS2PE. Catalog number: 16113. Brand: Parallax. Brand's Part Number: 28022.
