Tilt Sensor - AT407

The AT407 Basic Tilt Sensor from Sparkfun is a versatile tool for detecting orientation. Housed inside a sturdy can, this sensor operates with a ball that makes contact with the pins when upright. When tilted, the ball loses contact, breaking the connection. This simple yet effective mechanism allows the AT407 to accurately sense changes in orientation.

The AT407 Tilt Sensor is perfect for a wide range of applications. Whether you're designing an alarm system that triggers when a window is opened, or creating a toy that responds to movement, the AT407 can bring your project to life. However, please note that the sensor may not be immune to small vibrations. To ensure accurate readings, you may need to implement debouncing code in your project.

When you choose Sparkfun's AT407 Tilt Sensor, you're not just getting a high-quality product. You're also gaining access to a wealth of resources to help you get the most out of your sensor. Sparkfun provides a comprehensive datasheet for the AT407, as well as firmware on GitHub, ensuring you have all the information you need at your fingertips.

With its robust design, ease of use, and support from Sparkfun, the AT407 Tilt Sensor is a valuable addition to any project where orientation detection is crucial. Its unique properties and potential uses make it a standout choice in the realm of basic sensors.
