Hi, thanks for making this kit available.

I've just completed Project 10: Detecting Vibration & Knocks.

I was wondering whether it would be possible to include the availability to make sounds together with detecting knocks? FYI, the piezo module is already connected to analogue input pin A0.

Yes, you can do this you just can't do both at the same time.

So to switch the piezo on pin A0 to an output and play a 440Hz tone:

Code: Select all

pinMode(A0, OUTPUT);
tone(A0, 440);

Then when you're done and want to take an analog reading, you stop the tone and then take your input reading:

Code: Select all

noTone(A0);
pinMode(A0, INPUT);
knock = analogRead(0);

(Note that you'll need something in between these two code snippets in order for the Eleven to pause and actually allow some time to play the tone. 'delay(1000);' will pause it for a second.

Thanks for your help. I'll give it a go.
