in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensors
Parallax designs carbon dioxide sensors used for air quality control and fermentation process control in residential, automotive and industrial settings. Sensor features include power requirements of 6.5-12 VDC, high impedance EMF generation interface, and operating temperature range of -4F to 122F.
-
in Distance Measuring Sensors
Parallax Inc.'s Ping))) Ultrasonic Distance Measuring Sensor is a low-cost, multi-use sensor. The Ping))) sensor utilizes sonar, and the output is a variable-width pulse that corresponds to the distance to the target, within 2cm to 3m range. It also features a 3-pin header for easy, solderless installation with a servo extension cable.
-
in Gas Sensors
Parallax Inc. is an online seller of gas sensors. They offer CO2 sensors for industrial and automotive applications. The CO2 Gas Sensor Module is designed to allow a microcontroller to determine when a preset carbon dioxide level has been reached. The CH4 are methane gas sensors, also using a microcontroller for preset levels of methane..

in Methane Sensors
Parallax Inc.'s methane gas sensor modules feature an operating temperature range of 32F to 158F, and power requirements of 5VDC @ 165 m. Used for sensing high methane gas concentration and stand/alone/background sensing, the sensors have an easy SIP interface and are compatible with most microcontrollers
-
in Tilt Sensors
Parallax offers a 4-directional tilt sensor commonly used in smart phones and digital cameras. Applications include rotating display adjustment, robotic movement, tilt sensing for remote controls, and alarm systems.
-
in Ultrasonic Sensors
Parallax carries PING))) ultrasonic sensors for low-cost, easy distance measurement. With basic pulse in/pulse out communication, they provide non-contact distance measurements within a 2 cm to 3 m range while a burst indicator LED indicates that measurement is in progress. Each sensor is 0.81" x 1.8" x 0.6", with an operating temperature range from +32 to +158 degrees Fahrenheit, and comes with a 3-pin header for soldering-free connection to a servo extension cable.
