An Arduino sensor kit is a collection of sensors and modules designed to work with an Arduino microcontroller. These kits help you build and experiment with various electronics projects. Commonly included sensors and components in an Arduino sensor kit are:
- Temperature and Humidity Sensor (DHT11/DHT22) – Measures ambient temperature and humidity.
- Light Sensor (Photoresistor/LDR) – Detects light intensity.
- Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) – Measures distance by emitting sound waves and measuring the reflection time.
- PIR Motion Sensor – Detects movement based on infrared radiation.
- Gas Sensor (MQ Series) – Detects gases like smoke, CO2, methane, etc.
- Accelerometer (ADXL345) – Measures acceleration and tilt.
- Flame Sensor – Detects presence of flame or fire.
- Joystick Module – Used as an input device for movement controls.
- Sound Sensor – Detects sound intensity.
- Infrared (IR) Receiver – Receives signals from an IR remote control.
- Relay Module – Allows controlling high-power devices with the Arduino.
- Touch Sensor – Reacts to physical touch.
Many Arduino sensor kits come with jumper wires, resistors, LEDs, and other basic electronic components to help you connect and experiment with the sensors. These kits are great for learning about electronics, sensors, and programming.
