Grove - Tilt Switch

The Grove-Tilt Switch is the equivalent of a button, and is used as a digital input. Inside the tilt switch is a pair of balls that make contact with the pins when the case is upright. When the switch is level it is OPEN, and when tilted the switch CLOSE. It is wired to the SIG line. The SIG pin output is LOW normally. When the Tilt Switch is upright, a pair of balls inside the tilt switch will contact with the pins and the SIG pin output is HIGH. NC(No Connection) is not used on this twig and there's a surface-mount resistor.

For all Grove users (especially beginners), we provide you guidance PDF documents. Please download and read through Preface - Getting Started and Introduction to Grove before your use of the product.

Ready to use with microcontrollers as a digital input. This product also has a compact modular design Plug-and-play grove compatible interface.

You can get grove shield for Arduino here and grove HAT for Raspberry Pi here. It may not be the same as product above but still can use.

Note: Controller and other devices are excluded in the packing list. Only Grove - Tilt Switch will be in the packing list.
