Hey all, just got my Arduino Starter Kit in the mail from Sparkfun today, had a great afternoon playing around with it and learning.
There is one issue I've been having, it's actually the only thing that has stumped me so far. I've been trying to follow the Knock tutorial in the "learning" section of this site. However, when I set up my circuit and run the example code, the LED I have in pin 13 lights up either constantly or erratically - and there is no movement on the piezo. When I modified the code to print the actual sensor value, its always above 300.
I'm following the example circuit exactly, except that instead of plugging the resistor directly into pin 0, I have it on my breadboard (because my wire leads are too big to put more than one in a socket). The only discrepancy I can find is the fact that I'm using 330 Ohm resistors that came with my kit, and it says in the tutorial to use a 1M ohm, so I tried putting 3 resistors into series, but it still didn't work.
Slightly confused, hoping someone can tell me what i'm doing wrong here. I can take a picture of my setup tomorrow if need be.
