This week we’re diving into tilt sensors in our new PyroEDU course: An Introduction To Sensors. In this lesson we’ll look at everything there is to know about Tilt Sensors and perform a simple experiment to give you a hands-on feel for how they work. Here’s a quick intro of what this PyroEDU lesson is all about:

The mechanical tilt sensor is one of the most basic types of sensors available. In this lesson we will learn how the tilt sensor uses some conductive balls to detect when the sensor has passed ± 90° of tilt.
