BME680 Environmental Sensor
28061
Raise your project’s environmental awareness with the BME680. The Bosch Sensortec BME680 Integrated Environmental Unit combines a gas sensor with air pressure, humidity, and ambient air temperature sensing functions within a single package for high performance air quality measurement. Parallax Inc. places the BME680 on a compact PCB with a 6-pin male header. This capable sensor does not have to be difficult to use. The BME680 is supported by BlocklyProp visual programming as well as C libraries for the Propeller multicore microcontroller. Code for other controllers is available from the Bosch Github repository.

SF30/C High Speed Laser Rangefinder – 100 M
28058
The SF30/C High Speed Laser Rangefinders can output an amazing 18317 readings per second. Lightweight and compact, this 0–100 meter rangefinder is designed to detect terrain and obstacles or create maps from moving vehicles and UAVs. It uses a time-of-flight system to make accurate distance measurements that are not affected by surface texture, speed, wind, changes in barometric pressure, noise, ambient light, terrain, or air temperature.

QTI Sensor
555-27401
The QTI Sensor is a close-proximity infrared emitter/receiver that is able to differentiate between a dark surface) with low IR reflectivity) and a light surface (with high IR reflectivity). These little sensors can be very handy for line following, maze navigation, or sensing the outer rim of a SumoBot ring. Wiring options allow it to be used digitally for fast black/white line following, or as an analog sensor to detect different shades of gray. A daylight filter is built into the sensor.
