I'm doing some thought experiments on a design. This particular design incorporates some sensors that draw about 10-30mA @ 5V each.
I want to turn each sensor on only when I need to read it. Can I power this straight from an arduino output pin?

At only 30mA then yes you can.
Thanks, that will make life much simpler.
