A simple tilt sensor module that detects orientation changes. When tilted, the internal conductive ball breaks the circuit; when returned upright, it reconnects — providing a digital output signal. It's a compact, low-power way to add basic tilt detection to your projects.
The module outputs a digital high or low signal depending on orientation, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino and micro:bit.
Key Features
- Digital Output – Simple high/low signal for tilt detection
- Rolling Ball Mechanism – Conductive ball completes or breaks the circuit based on orientation
- Low Power – Minimal current draw
- 3-Pin Interface – DO (digital output), VCC (3.3 V), GND
Specifications
- Output – Digital (high/low)
- Operating Voltage – 3.3 V
- Pins – DO, VCC, GND
Ideal For
- Orientation detection projects
- Tilt-activated switches and alarms
- Arduino and micro:bit projects
- Simple motion detection
Package Contents
- 1× Tilt sensor module
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Motion detection
- A camera feature that checks the image for changes that suggest something has moved. It matters because your project can use movement as a trigger instead of constantly saving or processing every frame.
