Piezoelectric Sensor:
To acquire sensor data we need a acquisition device and Arduino is one of of the device that can acquire large data and plot it in continuous mode.
Piezoelectric Actuator:
To drive piezoelectric we need a controller and we know that Arduino is one the best open source controller based on Atmega 328 micro controller. Arduino can generate any type of signal to actuate Piezoelectric.
