For my project I | For my main project I am creating drum set. The drum setup would be to have a kick drum, a snare, a clap, a tom, and a hi-hat. The idea is to install Piezo sensors into different plastic cylinders. When each cylinder is struck it would produce the specific sound that I assigned to that Piezo sensor. | ||

Unlike the example, I used a breadboard and taped my Piezo sensor to the bottom of a lid from a plastic container. With this test, when I tap on the lid of the container, Arduino would output knock! and the LED light would toggle on/off. | ||
