Tutorial: How to use Vibration Switch SW18015P

The SW18015P vibration switch is a useful component for projects that require a motion-based activation signal. It is ideal for beginner and intermediate makers looking to integrate motion sensors into their devices.

What you need

• Arduino Uno or compatible
• USB Connection
• 5V Power Supply

Steps

1. Connect the VCC pin of the switch to a 5V power source.
2. Connect the GND pin of the switch to the ground of your circuit.
3. Connect the OUT pin to a digital input of your Arduino (for example, pin 2).
4. Open the Arduino IDE and upload the test sketch.
5. Check the electronic connection with a multimeter to ensure there are no shorts or insufficient insulation.
6. Retrieve data from the OUT pin using the ‘digitalRead()’ command in Arduino.

Example code

const int vibSwitch = 2; // definisci l'input digitale
void setup() {
  pinMode(vibSwitch, INPUT); // imposta come input
}
void loop() {
  if(digitalRead(vibSwitch) == HIGH){
    Serial.println("Vibrazione rilevata!");
  }
}

Mini project

Create an alarm device that sends a notification when motion is detected. Use the vibration switch to activate the signal and integrate it with a Wi-Fi module for communication.

Common mistakes

• Do not properly check connections before uploading the sketch.
• Use a voltage different from 5V without an appropriate adapter.
• Ignore the component’s datasheet which can provide key information about its configuration and operation.
