Tilt sensors are devices that detect the orientation or angle of an object relative to the ground. They work by measuring the force of gravity acting on a small internal component, which can be a ball, liquid, or a capacitive element. When the sensor tilts, the internal component shifts, triggering a change in the sensor's output signal. This information can be used in various applications, such as smartphones, gaming controllers, and automotive systems. These sensors come in different types, including mechanical, capacitive, and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) tilt sensors. Each type has its own advantages and is suited for specific applications. For example, MEMS tilt sensors are commonly used in consumer electronics due to their small size and low power consumption.
