Sensors
|
|
|
|
A selection of sensor modules which may be easily interfaced to controllers that
support the industry standard I2C communications protocol such as the
BASIC Stamp BS2P or a PIC
microcontroller using the PicBasic or
PicBasic Pro compiler. Sensors include
the TPA81 which is a thermopile array that
detects infrared in the 2um-22um range and the
CMPS03 which is a magnetic compass that
has been specifically designed for use in robots as an aid to navigation.

TPA81 Thermopile Array Sensor
|
 |
The TPA81 is a thermopile array that detects infrared in the 2um-22um range.
The TPA81 can measure the temperature of 8 adjacent points simultaneously. The module
can also control a servo to pan itself around and build up a thermal image. Communication
with the TPA81 module is via the I2C bus.

CMPS03 Magnetic Compass
|
 |
The CMPS03 Magnetic Compass has been specifically designed for use in robots
as an aid to navigation. The bearing may be retrieved from the module in one of
two ways; either using its PWM signal or its I2C interface.
