Mini PIR Sensor with Time and Sensitivity Control – BS612

PIR sensors are used to detect motion from pets/humanoids from about 5 meters away (possibly works on zombies, not guaranteed). This sensor is much smaller than most PIR modules, which makes it great for unobtrusive projects. It’s also fully contained and very configurable. After you’ve provided power and ground, you can use the remaining 3 pins to configure whether the sensor is enabled (OEN), how sensitive the PIR should be to motion (SENS) and how long the output is active for (ON TIME). Even though there are 6 pins, the wires are flexible and long so the sensor is breadboard or perfboard friendly.

Adafruit MAX17048 LiPoly / LiIon Fuel Gauge and Battery Monitor – STEMMA JST PH & QT / Qwiic

Low cost Lithium Polymer batteries have revolutionized electronics – they’re thin, they’re light, they can be regulated down to 3.3V and they’re easy to charge. On your phone, there’s a little image of a battery cell that tells you the percentage of charge – so you know when you absolutely need to plug it in and when you can stay untethered.

The Adafruit MAX17048 LiPoly / LiIon Fuel Gauge and Battery Monitor does the same thing. Connect it to your Lipoly or LiIon battery and it will let you know the voltage of the cell, it does the annoying math of decoding the non-linear voltage to get you a valid percentage as well!
