Detect chills, jolts, jitters, jerks, shivers, shudders, shakes, quivers, quakes, trembles, tremors and many more vibes, vibrations and oscillations. When using for low frequency vibrations such as occurring in human motion, the sensor outputs either a low-pass filtered signal to indicate the average level of low frequency vibrations, or a high-pass filtered signal so as to detect single sudden motion spikes too.
Application examples
- Attach to your wrist and use as tremor measurement device.
- Use as a detection device for chills and assess fear.
- Attach to moving objects or body part and find out what's shakin'.
- Hold a dance competition to see who's the best in shaking his/her booty !
Technical specifications
| Product |
Vibe sensor |
| Version |
2.0 (November 2009) |
| Sensing parameter |
low-frequency vibration (eg. human movements) |
| Sensing method |
piezo-electric |
| Bandwidth |
1 - 15 Hz |
| Operating temperature |
-40° to 45° C (-40° to 158° F) |
| Power supply |
1.8 to 5.25 V DC, 1 mA at 5 V DC |
| Sensor dimensions |
70 x 20 x 8.0 mm (2.8 x 0.80 x 0.32 inch) |
| Weight |
13 g (0.46 oz), incl. cable |
| Cable |
1.0 m (39 inch), shielded, red wire = power, black wire = ground, white wire = sensor output, maximum extension 30 m (98 ft) |
| Connector |
male plug with a row of 3 pins spaced 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) |
| Application notes |
- Use the dip switch to change the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. High (15.9 Hz): dip switch is set towards cable, away from the piezo element (default). Low (0.157Hz): dip switch is set away from cable, towards the piezo element.
- To increase responsiveness, add a mass (eg a small hex-nut) to the end using a small wire or twist tie.
