I'm looking for a Vibration Sensor

Hi, Im looking for a vibration sensor that I can use with the .Net Gadgeteer, does anyone have any suggestions?

The project is to create an Airsoft target that can detect when the hard plastic BBs strike it.

Thanks!

I don’t think there is anything out of the box so to speak. But it is a good opportunity to create a Gadgeteer module that does that.

Check this sensor:

There is aurduino example. To connect this sensor to gadgeteer you will need extender module.

Here is one that’s on clearance…
and shouldn’t be hard to convert to Gadgeteer…

or get this one and read the datasheet to get started…
