TinkerKit - Tilt sensor module

A "TILT" type shock sensor is used to detect a shock. The sensor contains two contacts on which a small metal ball is placed. If the sensor is positioned upwards, the metal ball makes an electrical connection between the two contacts, in the event of a shock or overturn, the contact is broken.

This module has an analogue output varying from 0V to 5V corresponding to the state of the sensor. 5V represents the rest position and 0V if there is a shock or a variation of angle of the sensor.
