Adafruit Tilt ball switch

Tilt sensors are an economical solution for basic motion and orientation detection. The device consists of a metal tube housing a small metal ball that rolls inside. When upright, the ball connects with the contacts at the end, closing the circuit.Benefits include simple mechanics, affordability, and easy integration into projects needing basic tilt detection. Common usage scenarios involve tilt-based triggers for alarms, switches, or even adding responsiveness to DIY electronic projects. This sensor is a straightforward, effective component for applications requiring basic movement sensing capability.
