Grove – Tilt Switch

The tilt-switch Grove Module is the equivalent of a button when tilted (on/off) and is used as a digital input. When the switch is level it is open, when tilted the switch closes. It is wired to the SIG line (NC is not used on this module).

This module is great for monitoring a robot’s orientation, allowing you to code measures such as an immediate halt to avoid a roll-over.
