Vibration Sensor Module SW-420

Description:

The SW-420 vibration sensor module is a commonly used component for detecting vibrations or shocks. It consists of a spring-mounted conductive metal mass that makes or breaks an electrical connection when subjected to vibrations. Here's how you can use it:

  1. Wiring: Connect the SW-420 module to your microcontroller or development board. It usually has three pins: VCC (power), GND (ground), and OUT (output). Connect VCC to a suitable power source (e.g., 5V), GND to ground, and OUT to a digital input pin on your microcontroller.

  2. Sensitivity Adjustment: Some SW-420 modules come with a sensitivity adjustment potentiometer. You can adjust this potentiometer to set the threshold at which the module triggers its output. Experiment with different settings to find the sensitivity level that suits your application.

  3. Code Configuration: Write code for your microcontroller to read the digital output from the SW-420 module. You'll typically configure the connected pin as a digital input and monitor its state. When vibration is detected, the pin will change its state (e.g., from LOW to HIGH or vice versa), indicating the presence of vibration.

  4. Interpretation: Once your microcontroller detects vibration, you can program it to take appropriate actions based on your application requirements. For example, you might trigger an alarm, log an event, send a notification, or activate a mechanism.

  5. Testing and Calibration: Test your setup in real-world conditions to ensure that it reliably detects vibrations at the desired sensitivity level. You may need to calibrate the sensitivity adjustment to fine-tune the module's response to vibrations.

  6. Integration: Integrate the vibration sensor module into your project or application. Consider factors such as mounting position, environmental conditions, and power consumption when designing the integration.
