Sensor

A sensor is a device that produces an output signal for the purpose of sensing a physical phenomenon. In the broadest definition, a sensor is a device, module, machine, or subsystem that detects events or changes in its environment and sends the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor.

• Acoustic, sound, vibration
• Automotive
• Chemical
• Electric current, electric potential, magnetic, radio
• Environment, weather, moisture, humidity
• Flow, fluid velocity
• Ionizing radiation, subatomic particles
• Navigation instruments
• Position, angle, displacement, distance, speed, acceleration
• Optical, light, imaging, photon
• Pressure
• Force, density, level
• Thermal, heat, temperature
• Proximity, presence
• Sensor technology
• Speed sensor
• Others
• Etc…

SparkFun Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout – ADXL335

Breakout board for the 3 axis ADXL335 from Analog Devices. This is the latest in a long, proven line of analog sensors, the holy grail of accelerometers. The ADXL335 is a triple axis MEMS accelerometer with extremely low noise and power consumption.
