Description

This module is designed for basic tilt and vibration detection in electronic projects. It employs a mechanical ball-rolling sensor (SW-460D/SW-520D) that triggers a state change when the module orientation exceeds a threshold angle or experiences sufficient vibration. The sensor’s signal is conditioned by an LM393 voltage comparator, providing a clean digital output signal suitable for direct connection to microcontroller GPIO pins.

The output logic is LOW in the normal (untilted) position and switches to HIGH when tilted or vibrated beyond the set threshold. The activation angle is influenced by the angular velocity and can be adjusted slightly via the onboard potentiometer for sensitivity tuning. The module is engineered for simple integration into alarm systems, robotics, and device orientation monitoring.

Key Features

  • Core sensing via reliable SW-460D or SW-520D ball-rolling tilt/vibration switch.
  • Signal conditioning with an LM393 comparator for stable, noise-resistant digital output.
  • Onboard potentiometer for fine-tuning the detection sensitivity and threshold angle.
  • Dual LED indicators: one for power confirmation and one for digital output status.
  • Compact, mountable PCB design with a pre-drilled hole for secure mechanical fixation.
  • Optimized for low-power operation within a 3.3V to 5V DC range.

Applications

  • Robotics orientation and tip-over detection for autonomous platforms.
  • Simple security alarms triggered by vibration or unauthorized movement.
  • Educational projects demonstrating digital input sensing with Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
  • Consumer electronics for detecting device orientation or accidental drops.
  • DIY projects requiring a basic, low-cost tilt or vibration trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of this tilt sensor module?

The module provides a digital output signal via the DO pin. It outputs a logic LOW when the module is in its normal, untilted position. When tilted or vibrated beyond the adjustable threshold angle, the output switches to a logic HIGH. This digital signal can be read directly by a microcontroller's GPIO pin.

How do I adjust the sensitivity or tilt angle threshold?

Sensitivity can be adjusted using the onboard potentiometer. If the digital output is not triggering correctly, turn the potentiometer screw to center its position. Fine-tuning this adjusts the comparator's reference voltage, changing the angular displacement or vibration intensity required to switch the output state.

What is the operating voltage range, and can I use it with 3.3V logic boards?

Yes, the module operates from 3.3V to 5V DC, making it fully compatible with both 5V systems like Arduino Uno and 3.3V logic boards like Raspberry Pi or ESP32. Simply connect VCC to your system's 3.3V or 5V rail, GND to ground, and read the DO pin.
