Customer Questions & Answers
What is the main function of this tilt sensor and which applications is it recommended for?
The tilt sensor works as a switch that activates when its angular position changes beyond a certain threshold. It is useful for detecting whether an object has been tilted or tipped over, and can be used in alarm systems, levelling, robotics and interactive games.
What are the exact dimensions, weight, and package contents when received?
The module measures 24 mm x 21 mm x 1.6 mm and weighs 15 g. The package includes the assembled sensor and, generally, does not include cables or additional accessories unless stated by the supplier.
Which platforms and voltages is this sensor compatible with, and what type of connection does it use?
It is compatible with Arduino and microcontrollers operating at 5 V DC. The connection is via a 3-pin header: VCC (5 V), GND and digital signal, making it easy to integrate into standard boards.
Does it require any calibration, maintenance or special care to maximise its service life?
No specific calibration is required. It is advisable to avoid dusty or excessively humid environments, and not to apply force to the capsule to prevent mechanical failure.
What is the sensor's activation angle accuracy, and is there an alternative with greater precision?
This sensor activates at approximately 15 to 45° of tilt. It does not provide continuous measurement or angular accuracy. For higher precision requirements, MEMS-based sensors provide real-time angle data.
How do you connect the Arduino tilt sensor?
It connects via its 3-pin interface to the Arduino board, generally with 5V power, ground and signal.
What voltage does the Arduino tilt sensor require?
The sensor operates with a 5V supply, compatible with most Arduino boards.
What projects is this sensor ideal for?
It is ideal for robotics projects, position detection, electronic DIY and Arduino education.
What is the size of the sensor?
The sensor measures 24 × 21 × 1.6 mm, making it compact and easy to integrate in tight spaces.
