Flexible Piezo Film Vibration Sensor Not working

I have the Flexible Piezo Film Vibration Sensor connected to Arduino Mega (also tried ESP32). Switch set to A. I get values but they don't seem to relate to any change in the piezo strip. I am doing a simple analogRead, like all the examples. Doing nothing to the strip, the values bounce around between about 160 to 240.

 

If I unplug the strip from the control board, I get the same random values.

 

Is this a bad unit? What should I do?

The operation voltage of this module is 5V only, it's not compatible with 3.3V.

You could try to test it with an ordinary Arduino board.
