Description: This is a vertical tilt switch, it can be used to detect the orientation of an object. It's made of 4 contact points and a small metallic sphere that keeps the contact.

This tilt sensor behaves like a switch. Whenever you tilt the horizontal axis more then 10° the contacts will be open or closed

Because these tilt sensor are based on mechanic contact it is a good idea to use some debouncing code since they can be sensitive to small vibrations.
