DESCRIPTION DOCUMENTS
Piezo elements come in handy when you need to detect vibration or a knock.
You can use these for tap or knock sensors pretty easily by reading the voltage
on the output. They can also be used for a very small audio transducer such as
a buzzer.

Works great, need some mass
about 3 years ago by caseyh verified purchaser
This piezo element needs some mass to make a loud noise or detect vibrations.
After I did that, it has a nice high pitched frequency range. It can also detect footsteps throughout my entire
house with the standard Arduino ADC and no amplification. How awesome is that?

Very sensitive
about 2 years ago by dccharacter verified purchaser
Nothing to add to the previous review - put some mass on (not a lot though) and it will detect slightest
vibrations. Make sure it suits your application though.
