The hardware setup for the example was simple enough. Unlike the example, I used a breadboard and taped my Piezo sensor to the bottom of a lid from a plastic container. With this test, when I tap on the lid of the container, Arduino would output knock! and the LED light would toggle on/off. | The hardware setup for the example was simple enough.
