4. Connecting Wires _1 set

Circuit

• 

Steps

1. Make sure the components are working properly.
2. Connect the Arduino UNO 7th pin to the Vibration Sensor DO pin.
3. Connect the Arduino UNO 5V, GND to the Vibration Sensor VCC, GND.
4. The LED 13th pin is Default.
5. Connect the ground connection respectively.
6. Check the Arduino program.
7. Check the circuit connections.
8. Run the Arduino program.

Arduino Program

int vib_pin=7;
int led_pin=13;

void setup() 
{
  pinMode(vib_pin,INPUT);
  pinMode(led_pin,OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() 
{
  int val;
  long measurement =vibration();
  delay(50);
  Serial.println(measurement);
  if (measurement > 50){
    digitalWrite(led_pin, HIGH);
  }
  else{
    digitalWrite(led_pin, LOW); 
  }
}
 
long vibration()
{
  long measurement=pulseIn (vib_pin, HIGH);  
  return measurement;
}
