Working Principle

Description

The tilt sensor module detects the tilting of an object by using a ball rolling type sensor, either SW-460D or SW-520D. It outputs a digital signal: LOW when not tilted beyond a threshold angle, and HIGH when tilted over the threshold. This change in output can be used to detect the object's tilt status.

SW-520D

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid Exceeding Voltage Limits: Do not supply the module with more than 12V or less than 3.3V.,
  • Prevent Exposure To Extreme Temperatures: Avoid operating the module outside the temperature range of 0°C to +80°C.,
  • Do Not Overload Output Current: Ensure that the output current does not exceed 15mA.

Dos

  • Ensure Proper Power Supply: Supply the module with a voltage between 3.3V and 12V.,
  • Check Connection Orientation: Connect the output directly to a microcontroller to read the tilt status.,
  • Use Mounting Hole: Utilize the M3 mounting hole for secure attachment to objects.

How To Connect

Connection Guide

  • Description: Connect the output pin of the tilt sensor module to a digital input pin on a microcontroller such as an Arduino or PIC. This allows the microcontroller to read the digital output (0 or 1) from the tilt sensor to determine the tilt status of the object.
