The 4-Directional Tilt Sensor is a perfect accelerometer replacement in those applications which may not need precise angular feedback.

This type of sensor is commonly used in many smart phones and digital cameras as a cheaper means to adjust the screen display when the device is rotated.

Features:
  - Small 6-pin DIP packaging with breadboard-friendly 0.1" pin spacing
  - Easy communication with any microcontroller
  - Positional feedback in four directions

Application Ideas:
  - Rotating display adjustment
  - Robotic movement
  - Tilt sensing for remote controls
  - Alarm systems

Key Specifications:
  - Power requirements: 3 to 5.5 VDC
  - Communication: 2-pin high/low output for four sensor states
  - Dimensions: 0.42 x 0.32 x 0.49 in (1.07 x 0.81 x 1.24 cm)
  - Operating temp range: 32 to 122 °F (0 to 50 °C)

Note: Maximum output singal voltage approaches power supply voltage, so use the same voltage level for microcontroller and sensor supply.
