The EmbeTronicX SW520D Tilt Sensor Module – ChipTronicX is a simple yet reliable tilt and orientation detection module designed for a wide range of robotics, automation, and embedded systems projects. At its core is the SW520D tilt sensor element, a small mechanical switch that responds to changes in orientation, providing a clean digital ON/OFF signal when tilted beyond a certain angle.

This module operates over a wide voltage range (3.3V to 5V DC), making it compatible with most microcontroller platforms including Arduino, Raspberry Pi (via logic conversion), ESP32, AVR, PIC, ARM, and 8051. With just three connections — VCC, GND, and digital OUT — you can easily wire it to read tilt events and trigger actions in your system.

A built-in status LED provides visual feedback when the module detects tilt, helping you test, debug, and prototype with ease. The small, breadboard-friendly footprint and standard 3-pin interface make it convenient to integrate into standalone circuits or larger control systems.

The tilt sensor module is ideal for robotic balance detection, inclination alarms, crash detection, door position sensing, orientation feedback, and interactive installations. It is also valuable in safety systems where the angle or fall of a device must be monitored and responded to.

Whether you’re building a self-righting robot, safety cutoff system, motion-triggered alarm, or orientation-aware gadget, the EmbeTronicX SW520D Tilt Sensor Module delivers dependable tilt detection with minimal wiring and configuration.
