Petoi Sensor Pack for Robotics, IoT and AI: Light, Touch, Guesture, PR Motion, Infrared Distance Sensors – ESP32, Raspberry Pi

Description

Product Overview

The Petoi Sensor Pack is a compact, versatile module that brings a suite of environmental sensing capabilities to any robotics, IoT, or AI platform. Housed in a lightweight plastic enclosure measuring just 2.95 x 2.17 x 1.77 inches and weighing only 1.31 ounces, the pack includes five distinct sensors: a light sensor for brightness detection, dual touch pads that function as a simple keyboard, a gesture sensor that recognizes directional motions, a PIR motion sensor for detecting warm objects, and an infrared distance sensor for precise ranging. All sensors are pre‑calibrated and connect via a single, easy‑to‑use header that plugs directly into ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or compatible Arduino boards. The module is engineered for durability, with robust solder points and a protective silicone cover that shields the electronics from dust and minor impacts.

Usage

Designed with educators, hobbyists, and professional developers in mind, the Sensor Pack fits seamlessly into a wide range of scenarios. In classroom robotics labs, students can program a quadruped robot to follow a light source, respond to touch inputs, or guard a space using PIR detection. Makers building home automation projects can use the infrared distance sensor to create obstacle‑avoidance drones or smart vacuum cleaners. IoT enthusiasts can integrate the pack with cloud platforms, sending real‑time sensor data from ESP32 to MQTT brokers for remote monitoring. The compact form factor also makes it ideal for wearable prototypes, where the light and gesture sensors enable interactive clothing that reacts to user movement.

FAQ

What microcontrollers are compatible with the Sensor Pack?

The pack works with any board that supports 3.3 V logic, including ESP32, Raspberry Pi (via GPIO), Arduino Uno, Nano, and compatible clones. A simple jumper cable connects the header to the chosen board.

Do I need additional power supplies for the sensors?

No extra power source is required. The module draws less than 50 mA from the host board, which is well within the capacity of typical ESP32 or Raspberry Pi power supplies.

Can I use the sensors with block‑based programming environments?

Yes. Petoi provides ready‑made blocks for platforms like MakeCode and Scratch, allowing beginners to drag‑and‑drop sensor functions without writing code.

Is the sensor data real‑time and how accurate is it?

All sensors output data in real‑time with update rates up to 100 Hz. Calibration routines are included in the library to ensure accuracy across a wide range of lighting conditions and distances.

What warranty and support options are available?

Each Sensor Pack comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Our support team is reachable via email and the Petoi community forum, where you can also find firmware updates and project ideas.
