Hi all. My electronics experience basically comes from some very rudimentry projects (i.e. learning lab type stuff) and such, so while things like logic circuits give me no problems, I'm afraid things such as this do...
Let me give a brief overview of what I'm trying to do, and hopefully someone can help me out... I'm sure what I'm trying to do is extremely simple, it's just my lack of knowledge that's making it difficult!
I have a piezo sensor mounted to a pad. Whenever that pad is "struck" or jarred in any way (above a certain threshold), I need to provide a closure across two wires. I don't know how time sensitive the closure is, so I don't know if I need any hysterisis or not.
I've played around trying to get various things to work and just haven't gotten anywhere with it. Is it possible someone could offer up some help?
