Tilt Sensor

A tilt sensor is a device used to detect the orientation or inclination of an object. It is typically used in various applications where it is necessary to detect changes in position or to determine if an object has tilted beyond a certain angle. Tilt sensors are widely used in robotics, automotive systems, security systems, and electronic devices for motion detection and orientation sensing.

Key Features:

• Detects changes in orientation or tilt
• Simple and reliable design
• Provides digital output signal
• Low power consumption
• Compact and easy to integrate
• Suitable for a wide range of applications

Technical Specifications:

• Type: Tilt Sensor
• Operating Voltage: Typically 3.3V to 5V (varies by model)
• Output Type: Digital (HIGH/LOW)
• Tilt Angle Range: Typically 15° to 45° (varies by model)
• Current Consumption: Typically less than 1mA
• Dimensions: Varies by product (commonly around 10mm x 5mm x 5mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C

Applications:

• Robotics and automation
• Automotive safety systems
• Security and alarm systems
• Consumer electronics
• Motion detection and orientation sensing
• Industrial equipment

Usage:

1. Connect the tilt sensor to your microcontroller or development board, ensuring proper connection of the power supply (VCC, GND) and the output pin.
2. Use the digital output signal to detect tilt: the sensor typically outputs a HIGH signal when in the default position and a LOW signal when tilted beyond the specified angle.
3. Implement code to monitor the sensor output and trigger appropriate actions or alarms when a tilt is detected.
4. Mount the sensor on the object or surface where tilt detection is required, ensuring it is securely positioned.

Caution:

• Ensure proper orientation and mounting of the sensor for accurate tilt detection.
• Avoid exposing the sensor to excessive vibrations or shocks, which may affect its performance.
• Handle the sensor carefully to avoid damage to the internal components.
