Component Introduction
The tilt sensor is a component that can detect the tilting of an object. However it
works like a normal switch but through a different physical mechanism. This type of
sensor is the environmental-friendly version of a mercury-switch. It contains a metallic
ball inside that will conduct the two pins on and off when the sensor reaches a certain
angle and vice versa.
