Tilt Sensor User Manual

1. Features

Operating voltage

3.0V-5.5V

Output type

TTL level output

Dimensions

21.0mm*13.0mm

Fixing hole size

2.0mm

Operating principle:

This vibrating sensor is essentially an application of mercury switch. In a

condition of vibrating or tilting, the sensor may enable the switch to close

or loose.

2. Applications

This module can be applied to vibrating detection, anti-theft alarm, smart

car, electronic building blocks, etc.

3. Interfaces

4. How to use

We will illustrate the usage of the module with an example of tilt detection

by connecting a development board.

① Download the relative codes to the development board.

② Connect the development board to a PC via a serial wire and the

module to the development board. Then, power up the development

board and start the serial debugging software. Here is the configuration

of the connection between the module and the development board.

The signal indicator will turn on, when the sensor is being vibrated or in a tilted state. And it will turn off, when the sensor is laid flat.
