Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of this vibration sensor?

This sensor provides an analog voltage output. The voltage level varies proportionally with the strength and intensity of the vibration applied to the piezoelectric disk. You connect the signal pin to an analog input (ADC) on your microcontroller to read the precise value.

What is the operating voltage range?

The module is designed to operate from a 3.3V to 5V DC power supply. Ensure your microcontroller's logic voltage matches this range. The sensor's output signal will scale with the supplied VCC voltage.

How do I connect this sensor to an Arduino?

Using the included Gravity cable, connect the module's 3-pin connector to your board. The pins are GND (to GND), VCC (to 5V or 3.3V), and SIG (to an analog input pin like A0). No additional components are required as the signal is already buffered.

Can this sensor detect simple taps or only continuous vibration?

It is highly responsive to both discrete events like taps or impacts and continuous vibrations. The analog nature allows you to set software thresholds for event detection or capture the full waveform for analysis of the vibration's characteristics.
