ZX-sound

Hi,

about the zx-sound can you tell me about the range of db this sensor have ?
And can I measure the db level of the enviroment with this one ? Sorry, there is no information about it …

Rodrigo, You asked my question exactly. Did you go ahead and calibrate? Any suggestion/advice? I am interested in detecting a sudden loud noise like a balloon pop. Thanks! Also, does it work with Arduino UNO?

Also, does it work with Arduino UNO?

It would certainly work with the Arduino Uno. It detects volume, so it could not differentiate between a balloon popping and another loud noise.

RB-Inx-33 is a hobbyist grade senor and, as such, is not calibrated to measure the the ambient noise in precise decibels.“This sensor provides an output voltage from 0 to +5 Vdc which is proportional to the intensity of noise detected. If the noise is louder the voltage will increase and vice versa.” You will need to experiment with it in order to measure the decibel range and create a calibration curve for it.
