Electronic – Connecting sensor microphone CM-01B to Raspberry Pi

microphonesensorsound

I have a plan to build a phonocardiogram (PCG) with CM-01B piezoelectric sensors.

I found similar research that used the same sensor, but it seems that there is no need to build any additional circuit to send a proper signal from the sensors to the computer unit.

I intend to acquire data using a Raspberry Pi 4B

I am not quite sure about this.

Is it enough to directly connect the sensors by the modified cable (i.e. that can be connected to USB or SDA pin) to Raspberry Pi for getting a good heart sound signal?

The Raspberry Pi does not have any analog inputs. You'll need to add an analog to digital converter like the MCP33111 or maybe go with the MCP3008 if you want more inputs. Adafruit has a nice ADS1115 breakout board if you don't want to make one yourself.
