Tilt Sensor

Tilt Sensor

Tilt sensors allow you to detect orientation or inclination. The sensor tested here is a very basic module that just has a rotating metal ball inside a container. The line closes when the metal ball completes the circuit on a tilt. In all other cases the line is open. So this is a binary sensor stating whether the object is tilted or not. It does not give the degree of the tilt.

Code

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
int angle=analogRead(A0);
if(angle>1)
{
Serial.println("tilted");
}
else
Serial.println("Not Tilted");
delay(1000);
}
