Tilt Sensor is a digital tilt switch. It can be used as a simple tilt sensor. Simply plug it to our IO/Sensor shield; you can make amazing interactive projects. With dedicated sensor shield and Arduino board, you can achieve interesting and interactive work.
Supply Voltage: 3.3V to 5V
Interface: Digital
int ledPin = 13; // Connect LED to pin 13
int switcher = 3; // Connect Tilt sensor to Pin3
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set digital pin 13 to output mode
pinMode(switcher, INPUT); // Set digital pin 3 to input mode
}
void loop()
{
if(digitalRead(switcher)==HIGH) //Read sensor value
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on LED when the sensor is tilted
}
else
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off LED when the sensor is not triggered
}
}
