Tilt Sensor Starter Kit: Build a Tilt-Activated LED Indicator with Arduino Uno

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Ever wanted a simple way to know when something has been moved or tilted? With this kit, young builders create a device that lights a red LED when an object tilts past a certain angle and a green LED when it stays upright – perfect for guarding a cookie jar, checking if a plant pot has tipped, or just exploring the magic of orientation sensing.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a circuit on a breadboard that continuously reads the SW520D ball tilt sensor. When tilted beyond its threshold angle, the red LED glows; when returned to level, the green LED lights up. The result is an interactive indicator you can attach to any surface, learning how everyday devices like fall-detectors and orientation alarms work.

What You'll Learn

• How a mechanical ball tilt sensor completes a circuit when inclined
• Reading digital input from a sensor pin using Arduino code
• Controlling multiple LEDs based on sensor state
• Building circuits on a breadboard without soldering
