SF30/C High Speed Laser Rangefinder – 100 M
28058
The SF30/C High Speed Laser Rangefinders can output an amazing 18317 readings per second. Lightweight and compact, this 0–100 meter rangefinder is designed to detect terrain and obstacles or create maps from moving vehicles and UAVs. It uses a time-of-flight system to make accurate distance measurements that are not affected by surface texture, speed, wind, changes in barometric pressure, noise, ambient light, terrain, or air temperature.

SF000/B Laser Rangefinder – 50 M
28056
The Lightware SF000/B is an ultra-small and light open-frame LIDAR laser rangefinder designed for size and weight constraint applications. Using a time-of-flight system to make very fast, accurate distance and speed measurements. Accuracy is not affected by the color or texture of the surface, nor the angle of incidence of the laser beam. The SF000 is virtually immune to background light, wind and noise, making it an ideal sensor to detect unexpected obstacles.

Proximity 3 Click
64211
Parallax speeds the process of Propeller 2 development through our partnership with MikroE, who has created a family of 850+ Clicks for most I/O functions you may envision. For each of the Click boards stocked by Parallax, you will find a documented Spin 2 code example on our Propeller GitHub Object Exchange. Connect your Click boards to the Propeller 2 Evaluation Board or P2-EC Edge Breakout Breadboard using the #64008 P2 to MikroBus Click Adapter. Proximity 3 click is an intelligent proximity and light sensing device, which features the VCNL4200 sensor from Vishay – high sensitivity long distance proximity sensor (PS), ambient light sensor (ALS) and 940 nm IRED, all in one small package.

PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor + Protector Stand
910-28015B
The PING))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require you to perform measurements between moving or stationary objects. The sensor measures distance using sonar; an ultrasonic (well above human hearing) pulse is transmitted from the unit and distance-to-target is determined by measuring the time required for the echo return. Output from the PING))) sensor is a variable-width pulse that corresponds to the distance to the target.The protector stand was designed to help fortify the PING))) sensor against collision damage, and to provide a more stylish appearance in doing so. The stand is cut from high-grade aluminum and can be attached to your projects easily.

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.

BME680 Environmental Sensor
28061
Raise your project’s environmental awareness with the BME680. The Bosch Sensortec BME680 Integrated Environmental Unit combines a gas sensor with air pressure, humidity, and ambient air temperature sensing functions within a single package for high performance air quality measurement. Parallax Inc. places the BME680 on a compact PCB with a 6-pin male header. This capable sensor does not have to be difficult to use. The BME680 is supported by BlocklyProp visual programming as well as C libraries for the Propeller multicore microcontroller. Code for other controllers is available from the Bosch Github repository.
