This awesome sensor has a metal ball that moves within its unique internal structure due to gravity, enabling connection or disconnection. It serves as a simple tilt switch. With digital input, it works great with an Arduino expansion board, letting you create all sorts of fun interactive projects. It's also safer than the mercury tilt switch. Unlike traditional steel ball tilt switches that can only detect single - direction tilt, this product uses a cylindrical design for 360° inclination detection. Features include 3.3 / 5V compatibility, 360° inclination detection, sensitive triggering, and support for graphical programming like Mind+. Applications are teaching experiments for tilt detection and DIY toys. Specifications: Working Voltage is 3.3 - 5V, communication is digital, connector is Gravity, tilt switch angle is 45°±10°, and module size is 22*30mm (0.87*1.18 inches). There's also a product wiki available.
Using this tilt sensor is easy. First, connect it to your Arduino expansion board. Make sure to check the working voltage - it can work with 3.3V or 5V. You can use it for teaching experiments on tilt detection or make your own DIY toys. For programming, it supports graphical programming like Mind+, which makes it beginner - friendly. When handling the sensor, be gentle as the internal metal ball is sensitive. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry and clean place. If you need more detailed information, refer to the product wiki.
