The Tilt sensor is a digital mercury-based tilt sensor which allows you to detect orientation and inclination. It acts like a switch. When the tilt sensor is in horizontal position, it’s open. When tilt, the switch closed and pass current.

==Note==
Mercury is toxic substance, Please be careful to avoid breaking the case.

==Features==
They are small, inexpensive, low-power and easy to use. Their simplicity make them popular for toy , gadget and appliances and many other application.

==Usage==

==Example code==
int ledPin = 13; // Connect LED to pin 13
int switcher = 3; // Connect Tilt sensor to Pin3

void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set digital pin 13 to output mode
pinMode(switcher, INPUT); // Set digital pin 3 to input mode
}
void loop()
{

if(digitalRead(switcher)==HIGH) //Read sensor value
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on LED when the sensor is tilted
}
else
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off LED when the sensor is not triggered
}
}
