Arduino Vibration Sensor Module

This module is ideally suited to adding knock sensing to your project.

This is a knock detection module which can detect a percussion based event to trigger a switch like response.

This allows you to replace those mechanical switches that have been holding back your project all this time with something a little more violent.

 

The sensor itself has a light spring that is held from one end.

The opposite end is suspended above a large contact plate.

When a knock event occurs the spring moves within its casing and hits the plate.

This completes the circuit allowing a small amount of current to pass.

This can then be picked up by a microcontroller as a trigger event.
