Overview
The KY-020 Tilt Switch Module is a simple ball-in-cage tilt sensor that detects orientation changes. When tilted beyond a threshold angle, it triggers a digital signal (HIGH/LOW), making it ideal for position detection, anti-theft alarms, and motion-activated projects.
This module includes a comparator circuit (LM393) for clean signal output and works with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi.
Description
Tilt Switch Module KY020
The Tilt Switch Module KY020 is a digital tilt sensor with adjustable sensitivity. It works with 3.3V to 5V logic. This makes it perfect for Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. You can detect motion or orientation changes easily.
This module outputs a simple HIGH or LOW signal. An onboard potentiometer lets you set the tilt angle threshold. An LED lights up when triggered. It is compact and breadboard-friendly. The Tilt Switch Module uses a ball switch inside. When the module tilts past your set angle, the ball moves. This completes a circuit and sends a signal. You can adjust the sensitivity with a small screwdriver. Turn the potentiometer clockwise for less sensitivity. Turn it counterclockwise for more sensitivity. The LED gives you instant visual feedback. This helps during testing and setup. The module works with any 3.3V or 5V system. It connects easily with jumper wires. The three pins are VCC, GND, and DO. You can read the digital output with any GPIO pin. The Tilt Switch Module is very reliable. It has no moving parts that wear out quickly. The ball switch is sealed and durable. This module is ideal for learning and prototyping. It teaches basic sensor concepts. You can build many fun projects with it.
