Tilt Switch Sensor Module for Arduino

Input and Output

• Input: Power supply of 3.3V to 5V.
• Output: Digital signal (High or Low) indicating tilt status.

Physical Characteristics

• Dimensions: Small, compact size typically around 30mm x 15mm.
• Weight: Lightweight, usually less than 5 grams.
• Color: Often blue or black PCB with a metallic tilt switch.

Technical Specifications

• Switch Type: A small cylindrical mercury or ball switch that completes a circuit when tilted.
• Output Voltage: Matches the input voltage when the module detects tilt.

Additional Features

• Debounce Circuit: Some modules include a basic debounce circuit to stabilize the output signal.
• Mounting Holes: Often includes holes for easy mounting to a surface or project board.

How to Use

1. Connect the Module: Attach the VCC pin to the 3.3V or 5V output of the Arduino and the GND pin to ground.
2. Read Output: Connect the DO pin to a digital input pin on the Arduino to monitor the tilt state.
3. Program the Arduino: Write a simple Arduino sketch to read the digital input and take action based on the tilt state (e.g., turn on an LED, trigger an alarm).
4. Mount Securely: Ensure the module is securely fixed to prevent unintended movement or tilt during operation.

This Tilt Switch Sensor Module is perfect for detecting changes in orientation in various projects, offering a straightforward and efficient way to add tilt detection to your Arduino setups.
