DFRobot Gravity: Digital 360° Tilt Sensor For Arduino High-Accuracy Rotation Detection With Digital Output

Description:

This sensor contains a metal ball that moves along its special internal structure on the effect of gravitation force to make a connection or disconnection. Therefore, it can be used as a simple tilt switch. With digital input, this sensor can be used with an Arduino expansion board to realize various fun interactive works. Meanwhile, it is safer than a mercury tilt switch.

Compared with the traditional steel ball tilt switch that can only achieve single-direction tilt detection, this product adopts a cylindrical design to allow inclination detection in 360° directions.

Specifications:

• Working Voltage: 3.3~5V
• Communication: Digital
• Connector: Gravity
• Tilt Switch Angle: 45°±10°
• Module Size: 22*30mm / 0.87*1.18 inches

Features:

• 3.3 / 5V compatible
• 360° inclination detection
• Sensitive trigger
• Support graphical programming like Mind+

Note:

The top appearance of the 360° tilt switch varies between flat and concave designs in different product batches. Regardless of the design, the functionality and performance of the product remain unaffected.

Applications:

• Teaching experiment - Tilt detection
• DIY Toy
