Hell, if you only need to detect if an object is tilted, you can get a simple “ball in a tube” tilt sensor for pennies. [tamberg] liked this idea, but he required a tilt sensor that works in ...
Tilt sensors are devices that produce an electrical output that varies with angular movement. They are sometimes referred to as inclinometers, but inclinometers produce both a signal and readout; tilt ...
Tilt switches transfer a change-of-state to another device. These devices receive a signal from the tilt sensor for changes in motion or orientation and turn on or off. They do this by generating an ...
This didn’t work well in wet weather, so he switched to a mechanical tilt sensor. An IR LED on the ceiling and a phototransistor on the floor of the box work together to detect the presence of mail.
