Boson: Tilt Switch

SKU: BOS0005
The BOSON Tilt Sensor i5 is a digital module utilizing a secure steel ball switch mechanism. This tilt sensor detects orientation changes by outputting a digital 0 or 1 signal as the internal ball rolls under gravity. Operating between 3V-5V with a PH2.0-3P interface, this digital sensor provides a safer alternative to mercury switches and is compatible with micro:bit and Arduino platforms.

Introduction

This BOSON tilt sensor is a digital module based on the steel ball switch. By utilizing gravity, the ball inside this tilt module will roll to the lower side to have the switch connected or disconnected. This digital orientation module serves as a highly reliable tilt sensor for determining physical positioning in interactive electronic projects.


Enhanced Safety and Reliability

This digital tilt module supports direct digital output and has higher security than mercury switches. By eliminating hazardous materials, this steel ball switch ensures safe deployment in educational environments and wearable electronics while maintaining precise, instantaneous state changes (0 or 1) based on physical orientation.


Broad Controller Compatibility

This digital gravity sensor can be used with maincontrollers such as micro:bit and Arduino. Furthermore, this BOSON tilt switch is suitable for not only Mind+ and makecode graphical programming but also non-programming projects.


By instantly translating physical tilt into a binary electrical signal, this sensor module brings intuitive motion-based interactivity to practical applications. From basic orientation detection in robotics and interactive gaming controllers to safety shut-off mechanisms in appliances, this tilt sensor delivers reliable and safe digital triggers.
