> What about putting an integrator after the piezo? This works, but fyi the piezo in a sounder has very bad characteristics, it creeps, it builds up DC potentials for no reason etc etc. I used a section of TL074 and 1nF polypropylene feedback cap, and a switch for reset when I tested this. The bronze backing flexes and stays flexed and induces a lot of stress that affects the readout. Not so good. Peter -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
