I am designing a game for a childrens event Friday and was advised to purchase the following from Sparkfun:
arduino mini 328
FTDI Basic Breakout
Piezo vibration sensor-small horizontal
1.0M resistor
super bright LED.
Up until the order I had never heard of Arduino. I have dinged around with it a bit and uploaded the blink program, as well as made one change that sent the output to a different pin. That's the extent of my experience. I am also powering the board with a 9v battery.
I need assistance or direction in how to configure what I have , so it fires of the led with a strobe like effect when the piezo senses vibration, or impact. I did find a tutorial for something similiar with the uno board. However, I am new to projects like this and do not know what pins to make connections to, etc, as well as how to change the programming to get the desired affect.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
