Piezo Vibration Sensor for Flexibility & Impact
The Seeed Studio NGW-1p Grove module detects vibration, shock, touch and flex using a PZT film element. It connects through a standard Grove socket for direct plug-and-play integration with compatible controllers. The board measures 40mm x 20mm x 11.5mm and weighs 12g. A Grove cable is included in the package.
Adjustable Sensitivity via On-Board Potentiometer
A built-in potentiometer lets you tune the detection threshold by turning its screw with a small tool. The sensor covers a measurable range from 0.1Hz to 180Hz for low-frequency motion and extends to 0.001Hz~1000MHz for broader dynamic response. This adjustability suits applications where vibration amplitude varies widely.
Makers Adding Vibration Detection to Grove Systems
Ideal for hobbyists building washing-machine monitors, car-alarm triggers, security contacts or low-power wake-up switches. Not suited for projects requiring analog waveform output, high-frequency acoustic analysis or non-Grove wiring without an adapter. Buyers needing multi-axis acceleration data should look at dedicated IMU modules instead.

Questions about this item
How does the 0.1 Hz to 180 Hz range perform when the sensor is installed in a machine?
The sensor detects vibrations from very slow movement up to 180 Hz, so it captures both low-frequency flexing and higher-frequency impacts in real equipment.
What does the Grove unified socket cap in practice?
The Grove socket provides a standard four-pin digital connection that plugs directly into compatible base shields or microcontrollers without extra wiring.
What mounting space does the 40 mm by 20 mm by 11.5 mm board need?
The module fits in a 40 mm by 20 mm footprint with 11.5 mm clearance, and the included Grove cable routes from the side connector.
