4-Directional Tilt Sensor

The 4-Directional Tilt Sensor uses an optical system to provide positional feedback in four directions. This type of sensor is commonly used in many smart phones and digital cameras as a cheaper means to adjust the screen display when the device is rotated.
 

Key Features:

• Positional feedback in four directions.
• Easy communication with any microcontroller.
• Small 6-pin package for breadboard-friendly applications.
   

Application Ideas:

• Rotating display adjustment.
• Robotic movement.
• Tilt-sensing for remote controls.
• Alarm systems.
   

Details:

• Voltage requirements: 3 to 5.5 VDC.
• Communication: 2-pin high/low output for four sensor states.
• Dimensions: 0.42 x 0.32 x 0.49 in (1.07 x 0.81 x 1.24 cm).
• Operating temp range: 32 to 122 °F (0 to 50 °C).
   

NOTES: Maximum output signal voltage approaches power supply voltage, so use the same voltage level for microcontroller and sensor supply.
