void setup() {
// initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
// read the input on analog pin 0:
int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
// print out the value you read:
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(10); // delay in between reads for stability
}

Editor's Notes
Introducing the topic we first need to know that what is piezo?
Piezo, the word comes from greek piezein which simply means pressure.
The animation gives a very simple explanation of what is piezoelectricity
It is simply that pressure applied on certain materials leads to a potential difference in the materials which can be used to generate electricity.
Orientation of dipoles by polarization-
(a) random orientation of polar domains,
(b)application of high DC electric field (polarization),
(c) remnant polarization after the electric field is removed.
(a) piezoelectric material without stress,
(b) energy generation under tension,
(c) energy generation under compression
These are some naturally occurring and synthetic piezoelectric materials.
While there had been a lot of progress in the development of ceramic piezoelectrics, recent trends and research have been directed in the direction of developing the flexible version of these materials that is the polymer based piezoelectric materials mainly based on PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride).
The next slide gives the classification of the same.
Advancing from the basics of piezoelectricity that my friend discussed I will move on to a simple energy harvesting circuit that we have worked on. It is capable of lighting a LED as you can see from the picture.
And can also be used in different arrangements like one above another to even charge power banks if fitted inside our shoes as was demonstrated first in GSF 2014.
While we have seen the capabilities of the market available piezo disc sensors we have designed using COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS Software a micro fibre of the same material i.e PZT that can be used in textiles for harvesting energy. Like door mats, carpets, seats in public transport vehicles, sofas etc. This can always help soak in the precious energy that is available in the surroundings and is being currently wasted to the environment.
The figure on the left side shows the peak to peak voltage output that can be obtained from the fibre.
Whereas the figure on the right shows the highest output rms voltage that we obtained from the disc sensor.
We will show you how to use a Piezo element to detect vibration and glow a led, in this case, a knock on a door, table, or other solid surface.
Based on this concept we can implement
1. Knock Sensor.
2. Automatic traffic control circuit and also lighting the street.
3. Leak detection of pipes.
Was incorporated in a car and door for vibration sensing for security purposes
Our main Motto is to develop on SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) by smart sensors for betterment of medical infrastructure. Today our project will introduce you with a smart pulse monitoring system.
