Tilt Sensor Project

Project Overview

The Tilt Sensor project demonstrates how to interface a tilt sensor module with an Arduino Mega to detect tilting movements. Tilt sensors are essential for applications requiring orientation detection, such as alarms, robotics, and orientation-sensitive devices.

Components Needed

  • Arduino Mega
  • Tilt Sensor Module
  • Jumper Wires

Block Diagram

Circuit Setup

  1. Connecting the Tilt Sensor to Arduino Mega:
    • Signal Pin (tiltSensorPin): Connected to digital pin 2 on the Arduino Mega.
    • GND Pin: Connected to the ground (GND) on the Arduino Mega.

Instructions

  1. Code Upload:

    • Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
    • Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.
    • Upload the code to the Arduino Mega.
  2. Testing:

    • Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE (set to 9600 baud).
    • Observe the serial output indicating whether the tilt sensor is tilted or not.
    • Tilt the sensor module to trigger state changes and verify responses.

Applications

  • Orientation Detection: Detect orientation changes or tilt movements.
  • Alarm Systems: Integrate tilt sensors for triggering alarms upon movement.
  • Robotic Applications: Use tilt sensors to control robotic movements based on orientation.

Notes

  • Sensor Calibration: Ensure proper orientation and sensitivity adjustment for accurate detection.
  • Digital Output: Tilt sensor provides a digital HIGH or LOW signal indicating tilt state.
  • Serial Monitoring: Use serial communication for real-time monitoring and debugging of tilt sensor readings.
