A simple tilt switch for detecting when your project tilts too far!
A small metal ball closes the contact when it rolls to one end and opens it when it rolls away.
Use it for a simple trigger when your project tilts beyond a certain point.
Unlike an IMU that measures motion across three axes, this switch can be used without a microcontroller or complex setup.
