T000190

The T000190 is a Tinkerkit tilt sensor module that can detect when it is at an angle. This module contains two contacts and a small metal ball. When the sensor is in its upright position, the ball bridges the two contacts, completing the circuit. When the board is tilted, the ball moves, and the circuit opens. When upright, the module outputs 5V and when it is tilted, it outputs 0V. When connected to an input on the Arduino using the Tinkerkit shield, you can expect to read a value of 1023 when in its upright position and 0 when it is titled.

• A tilt sensor
• A signal amplifier
• The standard Tinkerkit 3pin connector
• A green LED that signals that the module is correctly powered
• A yellow LED that lights up when a connection is made (the sensor is upright)
