Octopus Electronic Bricks, you can use them to build electronics projects just as easy as piling bricks. By using Octopus electronic bricks, you may connect Arduino/Freaduino compatible boards easily with various digital, analog and I2C/Uart interfaces. These the breadboard-less firm connection are prepared to extensive modules like poteniometers, sensors, relays, servos…even buttons, just plug and play.
Vibration Sensor Brick is a module based on vibration trigger switch. When in the stationary state, the indicator LED is OFF. When subjected to external vibration touch to achieve the appropriate vibration force, or move away from the speed of the appropriate (partial) effort, conductive pin will produce an instant turn-on (ON) state. At that time, electrical characteristics have changed. While if the external force disappear, electrical characteristics will restore OFF state. Through Arduino board D13 port indicator LED on/ off, you can clearly see how the vibration sensor works. This module can be used in vibration testing, reporting theft alarm, smart car and so on.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- UART
- UART is a simple serial connection that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, often labelled TX and RX. It matters because this module is designed to replace a wired UART cable with a wireless link while keeping the same serial data format.
