Project Description:
********************
Today’s episode is about the SW-420 vibration sensor. In this episode, you will learn how to use a vibration sensor with Arduino and control an led when a certain pre-defined value is exceeded. This is an introductory tutorial, which covers the vibration sensor pinouts, its interfacing with the Arduino, and basic programming. While in the upcoming tutorials this vibration sensor will be used in an earthquake notification system using gsm and wireless sensor network using zigbee or xbee.
Let’s get started!!!!
The components that we will need for this project are
1. Arduino
2. SW-420 vibration sensor
3. An led “light emitting diode” the longer led is the anode and the shorter leg is the cathode.
4. A 330 ohm resistor
5. Some jumper wires and finally number
6. A Breadboard
This project is based on Arduino and same code can also be used with Mega.

The only video about Arduino and related stuff which is to the point , informative and easy to comprehend .Keep up the nice work 👍

[@H0mework]

Nice. Looks sensitive enough for my needs

[@geniustechnology3358]

GOOD job

[@fidgetspinner1403]

Thanks for the great tutorials. keep up the great work :)

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

this is a great setup, i was hoping you would know how i could use a speaker as output, also i wanted to play an audio file on the speaker if the vibration is exceeded. is this possible?

[@ElectroniClinic]

I have a separate video on how to play audio files. Check playlist.

[@atulimakvana1092]

Thanks for this video. Can I have more details about Vibration Measurement Unit by this sensor.

[@dichoukarima2454]

Did you found the answer?

[@gulshan8819]

what is the unit of the output values we are getting? ? I mean I want my vibration sensor to give the values in hz. Is it possible?

[@Random.07]

can i use a 220 ohm resistor instead of 330? plz answer

[@jindrakuswoyo8315]

Thanks!

[@ravenherd6983]

Actually I am making a project on vibration sensor using arduino where we will be monitoring the vibrations of the machine and detect if it is vibrating above it's limited value.It would certainly be good if you gave a little advice .Is there a requirement of nodemcu if I need to display output on screen or that purpose is solved by the output window of Arduino IDE ?

[@prathyushalakkam4644]

Did you got the output.plzz say iam also working on that project

[@wollewolljamin6363]

Hey, thanks for this video. It is possible to send a midi signal from the arduino, triggerd by the SW40? I want to trigger ResolumeVJ with vibrations for an university artproject.

[@afiqumarchematdin1914]

HI sir!! it was a great tutorial ever. A quick question, if we want to use the kit but with different platform like mobile phone, do we have to retype the programme again?

[@andreicabuquin710]

can we use this to convert vibration into electricity?

[@ElectroniClinic]

Use piezoelectric sensors.

[@gairuboinavenkatesh4974]

what is the umits for vibrations displaying on the screen???

[@MohammedSaid-gc2ox]

Hello brother, I hope you're doing well after four years , i have a question and i hope that you have the answer for it . i want to read the values of the vibration i mean the real values in Hz so i can use it in my project and do some calculation . thank you and i appreciate your help

[@awihamzahrambe3012]

Please help me solution I'm using a SW-420 vibration sensor whose output is analogous to a voltage unit. I really want to be able to convert the sensor voltage unit to Herzt (hz) unit. How to?

[@Boscovius]

I want to create a rig that will allow me to measure the vibration of my boy's pinewood derby race car wheel and axles so I can determine which wheel axle combinations run the smoothest (least friction). Do you think this would be applicable. I'm not much of an electronics expert, but I can see how this could possibly work. Though I'd rather be able to read a numeric value for the vibration than just a led signal lamp.

[@ElectroniClinic]

you have different options, you can use this sensor, you can also use a piezo sensor, and you can also use mpu6050. But first you can try this one. its a low cost sensor, you should give it a try.

[@ElectroniClinic]

coz the way i used it, you can now decide, its gonna work for you or not.

[@naveenkumarreddykaranam6787]

what is the units of readings??

Ya it can be done. Once you detect the vibration then you can do anything.

[@ElectroniClinic]

Check my other videos on vibration sensor.

[@sylgonjaysanoy8890]

ive alreary try. but the result is not ok. do data is being accepted with the use of nrf24l01

How can I boost the signal of the vibration sensor so the Arduino Board can see weaker signals coming from it? I know I'm missing some signals coming off the sensor using the set up in your video.

[@martinmulvany4531]

Hello. I wonder if you can help me. I'm trying to make a sound module that is activated by a shock sensor, but I haven't got much experience. I have bought a few voice modules and can't get them working and don't know where to connect the sensor.

[@ethanzeller3289]

would there be an application for sensing seat (Such as a car) vibrations specifically measuring vibrations as a frequency.

[@nartymmd]

I'm also looking in to that. Did You find out how to connect this with some software showing vibration graph in real time?

It is a useful video for me.... I would like to know about the unit of vibration.... is it in Hz??? Or any other unit.... kindly replay....

Hi, what is the purpose of the resistor? Do you have the circuit diagram for this project?

[@matthewfelgate]

Does it trigger if you are holding the breadboard in the air?

[@ElectroniClinic]

yes

[@scenekyahaibhai]

Can we adjust the sensitivity of the sensor so that it can sense only high vibrations?

[@atulimakvana1092]

That can be adjusted by potentiometer on the sensor.

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

you can change measurement > 50 to measurement > 200 it depends on the sensitivity that you need so keep changing the number until it is too high for you then lower it slightly.

[@mohamedashif8710]

Can you help me to write a program for stepper motor control using vibration sensor

watch my videos on stepper motors. All you need to do is copy that code and paste it into the if condition block.

sir i have a doubt since the sensor gives the digital o/p(0 and 1) so only 0 AND 1 only displayed in the serial monitor right.then how it displays values greater then 50

it is the duration of pulseIn function
