KY-031 knock sensor with ESP32
Supply 3.3-5 V
Bus GPIO
Measures vibration
Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Output (the part drives it) | D25 | Short pulse on a knock: use an interrupt |
| VCC | Power | 3V3 | Middle pin, marked +. Use 3V3 |
| GND | Ground | GND | Marked - |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
Starter code (Arduino)
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(25, INPUT); // S
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(digitalRead(25));
delay(100);
}
