Tutorial: How to use Shock Tilt Sensor SW-200D

The shock tilt sensor SW-200D is a simple but useful component for projects that require movement or vibration detection. Ideal for beginners and makers who want to create home alarms, anti-theft devices, or presence sensors.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• USB Cable
• Connect to PC

Steps

1. Connect the SW-200D shock tilt detector to the digital pin of the Arduino according to the pinout table in the product datasheet.
2. Download and install the Arduino IDE on a computer.
3. Compile and upload the example sketch provided in the ‘Code’ section.
4. Check that the sensor is correctly connected by monitoring the status variable on the Arduino serial monitor.
5. If necessary, modify the sketch to suit your specific requirements.
6. Try moving or vibrating the sensor and observe the changes on the serial monitor.
7. Create a more complex project using the data collected from the SW-200D shock tilt sensor.

Example code

const int sensorPin = 2; // Collega il pin del sensore qui
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int sensorValue = digitalRead(sensorPin);
  Serial.println(sensorValue);
}

Mini project

Create a home alarm system that sends an email or SMS notification when the sensor detects movement.
