Parallax Sound Impact Sensor

• Single bit output
• Detection range: 3 meters
• Power requirements: 5 VDC
• Compatible with all Parallax microcontrollers

The Parallax Sound Impact Sensor detects sound from up to 3 meters away, lending noise-activation possibilities to your project. This sensor also includes an on-board potentiometer for easy adjustment of the range of detection for the sensor. This sensor is compatible with all Parallax microcontrollers. The sample code for both the BASIC Stamp 2 and the Propeller chip can be found in useful link tab.

Features:

• Detection range up to 3 meters away
• On-board potentiometer provides an adjustable range of detection
• Single bit output
• 3-pin SIP header ready for breadboard or through-hole projects
• Built-in series resistor for compatibility with the Propeller microcontroller and other 3.3V devices
