Briefly introduced: DHT11 – Temperature and Humidity Sensor
The DHT11 is a simple and inexpensive temperature and humidity sensor, which is ideal for small projects with the Arduino, in which it does not depend on a high degree of accuracy of the measurements. It should be used for indoor measurements.
Briefly introduced: The air pressure sensor BMP085 (GY-65 breakout board) with an additional temperature sensor
The GY-65 is a simple breakout board for Bosch BMP085 barometric pressure sensor with integrated temperature measurement. The values can be a simple used for weather forecast, more precise (GPS) navigation (level measurement, as well as vertical climb and descent).
Briefly introduced: The ultrasonic distance sensor HC-SR04
The HC-SR04 is a very inexpensive ultrasonic range sensor. He is primarily in robotics and autonomous vehicles in use, being possible to use the sensor for example for obstacle detection, but also level indicators or motion detection are possible with this sensor.
