Categories: Other Sensors
Description
Key Features:
✔ Vibration/Impact Sensing – Detects physical shocks or knocks via spring-based mechanism. ✔ Digital Output (High/Low) – Outputs LOW when vibration is detected, otherwise HIGH. ✔ Adjustable Sensitivity – Fine-tune with the onboard potentiometer. ✔ Wide Voltage Support (3.3V–5V) – Works with most microcontrollers. ✔ Compact & Breadboard-Friendly – Standard 3-pin interface (VCC, GND, OUT).
Applications:
-
Interactive Projects – Knock-controlled lights, sound triggers.
-
Security Alarms – Detect tampering or break-in attempts.
