WEEK 1

During the last semester,I purchased all the hardware parts that I need to construct for the circuit. But I have a problem with the purchase because there are some components cannot be found in the store. The component such as piezo film is hard to find at Malaysia.So I must order the component online at the sparkfun.com.

Below is specification about piezo film:

Piezoelectric Film is an enabling transducer technology with unique capabilities. Piezo Film produces voltage in proportion to compressive or tensile mechanical stress or strain, making it an ideal dynamic strain gage. It makes a highly reliable, low-cost vibration sensor, accelerometer or dynamic switch element. Piezo Film is also ideally suited for high fidelity transducers operating throughout the high audio (>1kHz) and ultrasonic (up to 100MHz) ranges.










Piezo Film elements are offered in four variations:
·         Silver ink screen printed electrodes
·         Lamination for higher voltage output when bending
·         Flexible leads
·         Shielded sensors
