1. Introduction The Grove - Loudness Sensor is designed to detect the loudness of environmental sound. Based on amplifier LM2904 and a built-in microphone, it amplifies and filters the high frequency signal that received from the microphone, and outputs a positive envelop. This will make for Arduino’s signal acquisition. The output value depends on the level of sound input.
2. Specifications Voltage 3.5~10 VDC Working Frequency 50~2000 Hz Sensitivity -48~66 dB Signal-to-noise Ratio >58 dB Output Signal range Analog Signal (0-1023)
Let's try to read the output value. As the picture on the below indicates, the Loudness sensor is connected to analog port A0 of Grove - Basic Shield Connect Arduino/Seeeduino to PC by using a USB cable.

Upload the code. Then open the serial monitor to observe the output results. There will be a significant change when blow to the sensor. The blue line is the original signal from microphone and the yellow is the sig pin of Loudness Sensor. It is the original signal envelope that the module outputs.
You should have got a raspberry pi and a grovepi or grovepi+. You should have completed configuring the development environment, otherwise follow here. Connection. Plug the sensor to grovepi socket A0 by using a grove cable. Navigate to the demos' directory:...
