The arduino can be interfaced with this vibration sensor to do an action such as turn on an LED when the sensor detects vibration.

Test the readings you are getting out of this with a multimeter- that will likely help you narrow down the problem.</p>

Tried it w/the very tiny lilypad LEDs, too. I've tried the same thing w/the round piezo sensor with success, so I know it's not the bulbs. What am I doing wrong? I've tapped, bent, and hummed into the sensor.</p>

I mounted it inside a wind turbine model in my office and it is picking up me walking around in the room.</p>

Would this be too sensitive and break? I guess it is cheap enough to just try it out. Any thoughts?</p>

I personally have read you can use these and a sheet of glass to turn a monitor into a touchscreen and look forward to trying that out.</p>

An idea maybe?</p>
