Description

What is the KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module? It is a movement sensor that activates when tilted. It is a simple and economical module, ideal for basic electronic projects. Features: Type: Tilt sensor Connection: Check datasheet Power: Check datasheet Dimensions: Check datasheet What can it be used for? The KY-020 can be used to detect changes in the orientation of an object. Some examples of use include: creating a home alarm that activates when tilted, checking the orientation of a robot, or making interactive games. The module is compatible with Arduino and other microcontroller platforms. Tutorial: How to use KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module The KY-020 is a tilt sensor that activates when tilted. Ideal for domestic electronics projects or interactive games. What does it require? Arduino KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module F/F cable for power Steps: Connect the KY-020 to the digital pin of the Arduino using an F/F cable. Verify connections with a multimeter if necessary. Open Arduino IDE and create a new sketch. Insert the provided script in the ‘code’ step. Save the sketch as ‘KY-020_Tilt’. Upload the code to the connected Arduino. Observe the output on the Arduino IDE serial monitor. Verify that the sensor changes the state of the pin when tilted. Example code: int tiltPin = 2; void setup() { pinMode(tiltPin, INPUT); Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int state = digitalRead(tiltPin); Serial.println(state); } Mini-project: Create a home alarm that activates when the sensor is tilted. Common errors: Incorrect connections Insufficient power Incorrect pin configuration Sensor sensitivity not adjusted Suggested accessories: KY-018 PIR Motion Sensor Module ESP32 NodeMCU Board 16×2 LCD Display Buzzer Module Frequently asked questions: Can the KY-020 work with Arduino Uno? Yes, the KY-020 is compatible with Arduino Uno. How can I adjust the sensor’s sensitivity? Check the datasheet for specific configuration information.
