Pick one of the senors from the SparkFun Sensor Kit and interface it to the Bone. Create a wiki page describing how to use the sensor.
| Name | Sensor | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HMC5883L - Triple-Axis Magnetometer Breakout Board | An accurate, simple-to-use digital magnetometer with an I2C interface. | |
| ADXL335 - Triple-Axis Accelerometer Breakout Board | Senses acceleration along all three axes, with a range of up to ±3g. Fully analog interface.
ITG-3200 | |
| Triple-Axis Gyro Breakout Board | Senses angular velocity along three axes of rotation. Fully digital interface with a range of up to ±2000°/s. | |
| Large Piezo Vibration Sensor - With Mass | A flexible film able to sense for vibration, touch, shock, etc. When the film moves back and forth an AC wave is created, with a voltage of up to ±90. | |
| Mark A. Yoder | Reed Switch | Senses magnetic fields, makes for a great non-contact switch. |
| Mark A. Yoder | 0.25" Magnet Square | Plays nicely with the reed switch. Embed the magnet into stuffed animals or inside a box to create a hidden actuator to the reed switch. |
| 0.5" Force Sensitive Resistor | A force sensing resistor with a 0.5" diameter sensing area. Great for sensing pressure (i.e. if it's being squeezed). | |
| PIR Motion Sensor | Easy-to-use motion detector with an analog interface. Power it with 5-12VDC, and you'll be alerted of any movement. | |
| Ultrasonic Rangefinder - Maxbotix LV-EZ1 | Distance sensor with both analog and RS-232 interfaces, providing sonar range information from 6 to 254 inches. | |
| HIH-4030 Humidity Sensor | A high precision humidity sensor with an analog output. | |
| IR Receiver Breakout Board | An analog interfaced IR receiver, sensitive to a wide range of IR waves. Great for 'listening' to TV remotes. | |
| Mini Photocell | The photocell will vary its resistance based on how much light it's exposed to. Will vary from 1kΩ in the light to 10kΩ in the dark. | |
| Optical Detector/Phototransistor | An all-in-one infrared emitter and detector. Ideal for sensing black-to-white transitions or can be used to detect nearby objects. | |
| BMP085 Barometric Pressure Sensor | Low power, high precision barometric pressure sensor with I2C output. | |
| Flex Sensor | As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Useful for sensing motion or positioning | |
| SoftPot | These are very thin variable potentiometers. By pressing on various positions along the strip, you vary the resistance |
