Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the HS-S21-L tilt sensor?

The HS-S21-L module operates from 3.3 to 5.5 volts DC. This range makes it directly compatible with both 3.3V logic microcontrollers (like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi GPIO) and standard 5V Arduino boards without requiring a logic level shifter.

How do I connect and read data from the HS-S21-L sensor?

Connect the module's V pin to your system's positive voltage (3.3V or 5V), G to ground, and S to a digital input pin on your microcontroller. The S pin outputs a digital HIGH or LOW signal depending on the tilt orientation, which can be read using a standard digitalRead() function or similar command.

What does the sensor detect, and how sensitive is it?

This sensor detects tilt in four primary directions: up, down, left, and right. It uses a mechanical ball-and-switch mechanism, meaning it has a specific angle threshold (typically around 15-30 degrees) that must be exceeded to trigger the digital output change. It is designed for basic orientation detection, not precise angle measurement.
