Sensors

The National Semiconductor LM19CIZ temperature sensor we supply.
Just connect the 3 terminals to our link port sensor cable!

Measuring the magnetic field of a screwdriver.

Two Clothes-pin (-peg) sensors connected. The one on the right is measuring the conductivity of a piece of foam.

Quad voltmeter probes.

Ready to compare the capacity of two batteries using voltmeter probes.

More sensors are planned.

While analog sensor readings are quantitative, our sensors are designed for qualitative experiments and are supplied uncalibrated. Should sensor calibration be required, this important educational exercise can be left to the student.
