KY-020 Ball / Tilt Switch Module
Overview:
The KY-020 Ball/Tilt Switch Module is designed to detect orientation changes by using a metallic ball inside the switch that opens or closes a circuit based on tilt. When the module is tilted, the ball moves, creating or breaking a connection, providing a digital output. This module is commonly used in applications that require simple movement detection and is compatible with platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32.

              • Key Features:

                • Tilt Detection: The module detects orientation changes and outputs a signal when tilted.

                 

                • Metallic Ball Switch: The internal ball closes or opens the circuit depending on the tilt angle.

                 

                • Digital Output: Provides a HIGH or LOW signal depending on the tilt state, easily interfaced with microcontrollers.

                 

                • Built-in Resistor: Includes a 10kΩ resistor for current limiting.

                 

                • Compact Design: Easy to integrate into small spaces for motion detection projects.

                • Internal Resistor: 10kΩ

                 

                • Module Dimensions: 18mm x 14mm

                 

                • Pinout:
                  • S: Signal pin (digital output)
                  • Middle Pin: Power supply (3.3V-5V)
                  • GND: Ground pin

                 

                 

                Applications:

                • Security Alarms: Used to detect movement or tilt in security systems, such as doors or safes.

                 

                • Robotics: Useful in detecting orientation changes in robotic systems.

                 

                • Game Controllers: Can act as a tilt sensor in DIY gaming controllers.

                 

                • Vehicle Alarms: Detects if a vehicle is being tilted, which can trigger alarms in anti-theft systems.

                 

                • Automatic Lighting: Can be used to turn lights on or off depending on the tilt, such as when opening or closing a door.

                 

                 

                The KY-020 Tilt Switch Module is a reliable and simple component for projects that need basic tilt or movement detection. It is affordable, easy to integrate, and widely used in various DIY and professional applications.
