Introduction

DFRobot Tilt Sensor

The DFRobot Tilt Sensor is a digital mercury-based tilt switch that is either closed, disconnected or open. The module is based on the number of mercury switches. The mercury flows to the low-lying and could therefore be used as a simple tilt sensor. The dedicated sensor expansion boards with the Arduino, in combination, can achieve very interesting and an interactive work.

Note: Mercury is a toxic substance, please be careful to avoid breaking the glass case.
