IR Range Sense
The IR Range Sense by MitchElectronics is a DIY kit that lets you build a small IR range sensor. The module includes a comparator, a potentiometer to set the sensitivity, and both analogue and digital outputs! Perfect for beginners and those needing IR range-sensing capabilities!
The IR Range Sense is a self-build DIY electronics kit that includes everything needed to either detect the range of a surface, or the presence of a nearby object. Powered from voltages between 3V and 12V, the IR Range Sense has two outputs; one digital and one analogue.
The digital output is connected to the output of the onboard comparator that produces either a logical 1 or 0 depending on the presence of IR light, and the IR Range Sense potentiometer is used to determine the sensitivity of the switch. The analogue output is a voltage that is proportional to the amount of IR light falling onto the IR sensor, and this can be useful for measuring distances, or for determining if an object has crossed in front of the sensor.
While the board comes with components suitable for most applications, it is perfectly possible to change the components to adjust its operation. For example, changing the size of the IR series resistor can increase the sensitivity of the IR sensor.

Applications
The IR Range Sense is an excellent kit for those needing to determine a surface’s range or to detect an object’s presence in front of the kit. In addition to ranging, the kit can also be used to determine the presence of a reflective surface, which is commonly used in line-following robots. The IR Range Sense is also excellent for those needing to count passing objects or determine if a container is full or empty (these devices are commonly found in industrial sites that rely on automation). For applications that need to detect another IR source, it is better to use the IR Sense kit as this eliminates the onboard IR LED.

Applications
The IR Sense can be used in projects that need to detect the presence of IR light, including robot line followers, remote control detectors, and proximity detectors. The IR Sense can also be used as a sunlight detector, as sunlight naturally gives off IR light. For applications that need to detect rapid changes in IR light (but want sunlight immunity), a capacitor in series with the analogue output can block steady changes in ambient IR readings.
Generally speaking, this kit will be used in conjunction with an IR source. For those looking for a range detector, the IR Range Sense provides makers with an excellent alternative to the IR Sense.

A more advanced use of this kit would be a backlight control for displays. The analogue output of this kit can be used to read the ambient light level and set the backlight level of a display so that the display maintains the same relative brightness.

The Sound Sense by MitchElectronics is an electronics kit that detects sound and produces a resulting digital and analogue output. This kit is excellent for makers needing to add a sound-sensing module to their design, and ideal for beginners looking to get some soldering practice.
The Sound Sense is a small sound-sending module in kit form which converts sound waves into an electric signal. Powered by voltages between 3V to 5.5V, the Sound Sense provides two outputs; one digital and one analogue.
The digital output is connected to a comparator that outputs a logic signal when the sound level crosses a threshold defined by the potentiometer. This makes the digital output ideal for applications that only need to detect the presence of sound. The analogue output is raw audio output from the microphone, but because this kit uses a single supply voltage, only half of the waveform is preserved.
Product specifics
- Component Count: 12
- Operating Voltage: 3V to 5.5V
- Output Voltage (Digital): VCC – 1.7V
- Operating Frequency: N/A
- Dimensions (PCB): 40mm x 20mm
- Mounting Holes: Yes
- Prebuilt: No – Kit form
- Batteries Not Included
Included in this kit
- 1 x LM358
- 1 x 8 DIP Socket
- 1 x Electret Microphone
- 1 x 1KΩ Resistor
- 2 x 10KΩ Resistor
- 1 x 47KΩ Resistor
- 1 x 100nF Capacitor
- 1 x 10µF Capacitor
- 1 x 10KΩ Potentiometer
- 1 x 1N4148
- 1 x 4-Way Socket
Applications
The Sound Sense is ideal for those creating circuits that need to detect sound, with one common example being clapper switches. The onboard potentiometer can be used to change the sensitivity of the microphone (i.e., a loud clap), and a second circuit can be used to identify claps from other loud sounds. This also means that the Sound Sense can be used as a sound monitor in security circuits that listen out for unexpected noises (i.e., people breaking into a home via smashing windows). At the same time, the Sound Sense can also detect wind, and this can enable the sensor to be used as a basic air flow detector. Finally, the analogue output of the Sound Sense can be amplified to be played on a speaker, but the single-rail supply of this kit means that only half the waveform is preserved.

Temp Sense Kit
The Temp Sense by MitchElectronics is a temperature sensor kit that provides both a digital and analogue output for connecting to other circuits. This kit is excellent for makers needing to add a light-sensing module to their design, and ideal for beginners looking to get some soldering practice.
The kit uses a thermistor in a potential divider configuration to produce a variable voltage that depends on the temperature of the thermistor. The thermistor is an NTC variant, meaning that its resistance decreases as it increases in temperature, and the Temp Sense has two outputs; one digital and one analogue.
The digital output of the Temp Sense is connected to the output of a comparator which compares the thermistor voltage to a potentiometer output. Thus, the potentiometer determines what temperature results in a logical one or zero. The analogue output of the Temp Sense is connected to an amplifier that is set with a gain of one, but a second resistor (soldered into R2), can increase this gain.
Product specifics
- Component Count: 8
- Operating Voltage: 3V to 12V
- Output Voltage (Digital): VCC – 1.7V
- Operating Frequency: N/A
- Dimensions (PCB): 40mm x 20mm
- Mounting Holes: Yes
- Prebuilt: No – Kit form
- Batteries Not Included
Included in this kit
- 1 x LM358
- 1 x 8 DIP Socket
- 1 x 1KΩ NTC Thermistor
- 1 x 1KΩ Resistor
- 1 x 10KΩ Resistor
- 1 x 100nF Capacitor
- 1 x 10KΩ Potentiometer
- 1 x 4-Way Socket
Applications
The Temp Sense is excellent for projects that need to react to changes in temperature, and the onboard potentiometer allows for tuning the trigger point. For example, the digital output of the Temp Sense can be used to control cooling fans and other environmental controls. The analogue output of the Temp Sense can be directly read by ADCs on microcontrollers for approximating the actual temperature, but note that NTCs require calibration due to their wide tolerances.
