MSP430FR5994: MSP430 connection schematic with MiniSense 100 Vibration Sensor

Part Number: MSP430FR5994


Hi,

I have a MiniSense 100 Vibration Sensor with me, which I am trying to interface with my MSP430 Launchpad to track the vibrations of refrigerator compressor. However, I am not sure if connecting it directly to my Launchpad, can damage the MSP Board.

When I tried to research on my own, I came across different suggestions, such as this one v/s this one v/s this one and also sparkfun's guide.

MSP430 has 3.3v operating voltage. In the third one, the guy has directly fed the pin to ADC pin of Arduino(5v). Will doing the same to MSP430 damage the launchpad?

Can someone please guide me in selecting a schematic. I want to measure the analog voltage out of the sensor and then convert it to g. 

Thanks
