Piezo film sensor (msiusa.com) by BARRAGAN

A Piezo film sensor can be used to measure a wide variety of phenomena, including pulses, vibration, pressure etc. This example reads values from a piezo film sensor connected to the analog input pin 0. The value read from the sensor is proportional to the amount of vibration that hits the sensor surface. The value read is printed through the serial to be monitored in the console.


int val; 

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);      // sets the serial port to 9600
}

void loop() 
{
  val = analogRead(0);     // read analog input pin 0
  Serial.print(val, DEC);  // prints the value read
  Serial.print(" ");
  delay(100);              // wait 100ms for next reading
}
