In this article, we connect an KY-002 vibration sensor to an Arduino Uno
The KY-002 is a shock and vibration sensor. It outputs a high-level signal when a shock is detected.
Parts Required
You can connect to the module using dupont style jumper wire.
This should work with other Arduino board – I have tried an Uno and Mega

Code Example
The following code example will switch the onboard LED the Arduino when a shock/vibration is detected
int Led = 13; // define the LED Pin int shockPin = 3 // define the sensor Pin int shockVal; void setup () { pinMode (Led, OUTPUT); // LED pin as output pinMode (shockPin, INPUT); // input from KY-002 } void loop () { shockVal = digitalRead (shockPin); // read the value from KY-002 if (shockVal == HIGH ) { digitalWrite(Led, LOW); } else { digitalWrite (Led, HIGH); } }
A slight variation on the theme
int shockPin = 10; // sensor connected to pin 10 int shockVal = HIGH; boolean bAlarm = false; unsigned long lastShockTime; int shockAlarmTime = 250; // Number of milli seconds to keep the shock alarm high void setup () { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode (shockPin, INPUT) } void loop () { shockVal = digitalRead (shockPin) ; // read the value from the sensor if (shockVal == LOW) { lastShockTime = millis(); if (!bAlarm) { Serial.println("Shock detected"); bAlarm = true; } } else { if( (millis()-lastShockTime) > shockAlarmTime && bAlarm) { Serial.println("No Shock detected"); bAlarm = false; } } }
