The tilt sensor module is equipped with a tilt sensor and a potentiometer. You may attach it to any object and it will determine whether the object is tilted or not. It is simple as it returns a digital output. It uses SW-460D or SW-520D tilt sensor. This tilt sensor is a ball rolling type, NOT the Mercury type.

It comes with a M3 mounting hole for ease of attaching it to any object. A power LED and a status LED are attached to the module for visual indicator.

This module will output logic LOW when the sensor is tilted below the threshold angle; logic HIGH when it is tilted above the threshold angle. The threshold angle ranges from 45 degree to 130 degree. Aside from threshold angle, angular velocity also affect the tilt module. It can also be used as a vibration sensor, too!

This module can be interfaced with any microcontroller with digital input such as PIC, SK40C, SK28A, SKds40A, Arduino series for tilt detection capability. Also, not to forget, interfacing the module with a Relay module forms a tilt switch 

Features:

• Operating voltage: 3.3 to 5VDC
• Ball Rolling type of tilt sensor.
• PIN: VCC = 5V, GND = 0V, DO = digital output from module
• AO is not use in this module.

* If the DO is not working, you might need to turn the on board potentiometer to center.
