I had also ordered the recommended SMD mating connectors.

The noise you see might just be background vibration. It could be tricky to try and eliminate that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=10397&AppID=272&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/experimenting-with-vibration-sensors/b/blog/posts/vibration-sensor---first-lookSun, 06 Dec 2020 11:35:21 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:d0204e93-68f9-4947-beca-6dfe179dfa2czst1231<p>Cool to see that the <span>Qwiic connectors fit nicely!

I realized that I must stretch my tape with enough downward pressure so that the vibrations are fully felt by the sensor. <span>Looks like you are using a foam-like adhesive tape. Do you think it will dampen the vibrations as well and affect the results?</span></span></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=10397&AppID=272&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
