Hi all

Does anyone have any knowledge of Piezo shock sensors they could offer me?

I'm looking for a SMD piezo shock sensor which is nice and cheap but reliable enough to detect the shock of an arcade button being pushed. I need to detect between extremely soft and very hard strikes, reliably.

Edit: I intend to mount the piezo sensor either directly underneath the button or directly next to, on a pcb, to which the button contacts are directly soldered.

I bought a "Tape" piezo for my main MPC project but this is not suitable for another project I have in mind, so not a lot of use!

There appear to be many options with various frequencies available, I am a bit lost.

Any ideas?

cheers

Jon
