Pin Configuration

Tilt Sensor Module Documentation
The Tilt Sensor Module is a compact and versatile sensor designed to detect tilt angles and orientations. This module is commonly used in various IoT applications, such as robotics, automation, and motion detection systems.
Pin Configuration:
The Tilt Sensor Module has a total of 4 pins, which are labeled as follows:
Pin 1: VCC
Function: Power Supply
Description: This pin is used to supply power to the module. Typically, a voltage range of 3.3V to 5V is recommended.
Connection: Connect to a power source, such as a battery or a voltage regulator output.
Pin 2: GND
Function: Ground
Description: This pin is used as a reference ground for the module.
Connection: Connect to the ground of the power source or the circuit's ground.
Pin 3: OUT
Function: Output Signal
Description: This pin provides a digital output signal indicating the tilt status of the sensor. The output is usually an open-drain transistor output, which can be connected to a microcontroller or other digital logic circuits.
Connection:
+ Connect to a pull-up resistor (e.g., 10k) to a positive voltage supply (VCC) if not using an internal pull-up resistor.
+ Connect to a digital input pin of a microcontroller or other digital logic circuits.
Pin 4: NC
Function: No Connection
Description: This pin is not connected internally and should be left unconnected.
Connection Structure:
To connect the Tilt Sensor Module to a microcontroller or other digital logic circuits, follow this structure:
VCC (Pin 1) Power Source (e.g., Battery or Voltage Regulator Output)
GND (Pin 2) Ground (e.g., Power Source Ground or Circuit Ground)
OUT (Pin 3) Pull-up Resistor (e.g., 10k) VCC
OUT (Pin 3) Digital Input Pin of Microcontroller or Digital Logic Circuits
NC (Pin 4) Leave Unconnected
Note:
Ensure proper voltage supply and grounding to avoid damage to the module.
Use a suitable pull-up resistor value based on the specific microcontroller or digital logic circuit's input impedance.
Consult the datasheet for specific operating conditions, temperature range, and tilt sensitivity for your particular Tilt Sensor Module.

Example 1: Basic Tilt Detection with Arduino

This example demonstrates how to use the Tilt Sensor Module with an Arduino board to detect tilts.

```cpp
const int tiltPin = 2;  // Connect the OUT pin of the tilt sensor to digital pin 2 of the Arduino

void setup() {
  pinMode(tiltPin, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int tiltState = digitalRead(tiltPin);
  if (tiltState == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("Tilt detected!");
  } else {
    Serial.println("No tilt detected.");
  }
  delay(50);
}
```

Example 2: Using the Tilt Sensor with Raspberry Pi (Python)

This example shows how to use the Tilt Sensor Module with a Raspberry Pi to control an LED based on the tilt angle.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

tilt_pin = 17  # Connect the OUT pin of the tilt sensor to GPIO 17 of the Raspberry Pi
led_pin = 23  # Connect an LED to GPIO 23 of the Raspberry Pi

GPIO.setup(tilt_pin, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(led_pin, GPIO.OUT)

while True:
    tilt_state = GPIO.input(tilt_pin)
    if tilt_state:
        GPIO.output(led_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
        print("Tilt detected! LED on.")
    else:
        GPIO.output(led_pin, GPIO.LOW)
        print("No tilt detected. LED off.")
    time.sleep(0.5)
```

Example 3: Using the Tilt Sensor with ESP32 (MicroPython)

This example demonstrates how to use the Tilt Sensor Module with an ESP32 board to send tilt detection data to a web server.

```python
import machine
import urequests

tilt_pin = machine.Pin(15, machine.Pin.IN)  # Connect the OUT pin of the tilt sensor to GPIO 15 of the ESP32

while True:
    tilt_state = tilt_pin.value()
    if tilt_state:
        print("Tilt detected!")
        urequests.post("http://example.com/tilt_detected", data="tilt_detected=true")
    else:
        print("No tilt detected.")
        urequests.post("http://example.com/tilt_detected", data="tilt_detected=false")
    machine.sleep(0.5)
```

Note: In all examples, ensure that the tilt sensor module is properly connected to the microcontroller or single-board computer according to the pinout specifications.
