Tilt sensors are one of the main components used in the construction of buildings and structures. Tilt sensors measure the angle of tilt or inclination with respect to the vertical plane. In a structure that is being constructed, the tilt sensors are used to check if the plane does not have any imbalances.


So let us know more about the sensor and its basics by building a project with Arduino to observe the working with small inputs. We shall begin with the Hardware requirements.

Arduino board is a microcontroller that is used to accept inputs from sensors connected and provide an output action on the desired device connected to it. The sensor inputs can be that from light-detecting sensors, flame sensors, temperature sensors, etc. The output function done by the devices can be turning on an LED, the sound of a buzzer, or a Serial monitor display.
