Gravity 360° Tilt Switch

With the Gravity Digital 360° Tilt Sensor, you can easily detect inclinations in all directions. The sensor contains a metal ball that is moved by gravity, creating or breaking a connection, allowing it to be used as a simple tilt switch. Compared to traditional steel ball tilt switches, which can only detect one-sided inclinations, this sensor allows the detection of inclinations in 360° thanks to its cylindrical design. The device is safer than traditional mercury switches and can be easily integrated into Arduino projects. Thanks to its high sensitivity, it reliably responds to inclinations in the range of 45° ± 10°. The sensor operates with both 3.3V and 5V, making it versatile. It supports graphical programming like Mind+, making it ideal for learning projects and experiments. With its compact design, it easily fits into various applications. This sensor is perfect for DIY projects, interactive toys, and educational experiments.
