The Tilt Sensor (Blue) is a versatile sensor designed to detect the angle of inclination or tilt in various applications. It uses a mercury switch or a ball-and-cup mechanism to detect changes in orientation. This sensor is commonly used in electronics projects, robotics, and systems where tilt detection is crucial for proper functioning or safety.
