Piezo knock sensor

Community Projects

I’m using the piezo sensor (SEN-10293) to make a knock sensor like the one in the arduino tutorial (http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Knock) on a steel plate. What would be the best way to adhere these sensors to steel without affecting the performance? Also would any sort of amplifying be required?

Thanks for the help!

We use “superglue” where I work to secure accelerometers to the test points.

I’ll give that a try thanks.
