Description

The Waveshare Tilt Detection Sensor Module operates on a simple mechanical principle using a mercury switch. When the module is tilted beyond a specific threshold angle (typically around 30°), the mercury blob moves to bridge two internal contacts, closing the circuit and driving the digital output pin high. This provides a clear, unambiguous TTL signal for state detection.

Designed for straightforward integration, the module features a standard 3-pin interface (VCC, GND, Digital Output) and operates across a common 3.3V to 5.5V logic range, making it compatible with most development platforms. Its compact form factor and included mounting hardware facilitate installation in space-constrained applications.

Key Features

  • Mercury-switch-based tilt detection for robust, non-powered sensing.
  • Clear TTL digital output signal simplifies logic processing.
  • Broad 3.3V to 5.5V operating voltage ensures compatibility with various systems.
  • Compact PCB measuring 19.0mm x 16.0mm with integrated 2.0mm mounting holes.
  • On-board LED indicator provides visual confirmation of the output state.
  • High-value build optimized for basic orientation and motion detection tasks.

Applications

  • Simple orientation detection in DIY robotics and smart car projects.
  • Tilt-activated guard alarms and basic motion detection systems.
  • Position sensing in educational kits and electronic gadgets.
  • Non-critical inclination monitoring for appliance safety cut-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this tilt sensor module?

The module operates from 3.3V to 5.5V DC, making it directly compatible with common 3.3V and 5V logic levels found on Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers without requiring a level shifter.

How does the sensor detect tilt and what is its output signal?

It uses a mercury switch that physically closes an internal circuit when tilted beyond approximately 30 degrees. This action drives the digital output pin to a logic HIGH (VCC) state, providing a clean TTL signal for your microcontroller to read.

What is included in the package and how do I connect it?

The package includes the sensor module and a 3-pin connector Jumper wire. Connect the wire's VCC pin to your 3.3V or 5V supply, GND to ground, and the signal pin to a digital input on your microcontroller to read the tilt state.
