Tilt switches are simple and useful devices which allow you to detect whether your project or device has turned over. This would be useful to incorporate in various robotics projects to allow your system to know if it has turned over or gotten inverted. This tutorial explains these simple sensors and how to use them.

I am electrical engineer, this is the best tutorials I have ever seen!
GABRIELLA! I'm currently on day 3 of going through these tutorials and I have done them all the way through including the homework in between. This stuff works!
Gabriella!
you are incredible fast! congratulations, you are a really fast
Paul, I also am an Engineer but, I went to school in the age of vacuum tubes. I was the RTU Engineer at my local electric utility. Your videos are very professional informative. I do watch every lesson to the end. I also spent 7 years in the Ivory Coast as a Peace Corps volunteer. Thanks for the wonderful classes. I do really appreciate the insight. BTW, Happy Birthday and enjoy your time with Gabrella.
I am a programmer and engineer, so have very little patience for these things - but the wife had to point out that you and I are both Scorpios. So happy birthday, great teacher, and know that I will follow your tutorials always to the end, with coffee in hand.
GABRIELLA! I'm watching all of your Arduino tutorial videos in order and always to the end. I don't do every assignment, but when learning a new important point, I do the assignment to reinforce the learning. You are a Master Teacher and your teaching style is the best I have ever experienced. I have completely understood every lesson. I especially like the in depth explanations of the combination of software, hardware, and physics. Well done, sir.
String birthday = "Happy Birthday!";
String granddaughter = "Gabriella";
void setup {
serial.begin (9600);
}
void loop {
if (11/12 = your birthday && granddaughter=coming home) {
serial.print(birthday);
serial.print("clue word");
serial.println(granddaughter);
}
hahahah this is so cute
haha, I second that!
Great video!
That's wrong, it should be == because it's conditional
I showed my son the green on tilt red project and he was amazed. I explained that it was as simple as two connections and a little ball. I even unplugged it and rattled the ball inside. He then suggested a magnet and sure enough, the magnet doesn't even have to touch it. It simply gets close and the lights change color. Gabriella!
I am a retired Electronic Repair and did my course back the 70's with AWA Corp and Industrial Electronics . I am enjoying keeping my mind active and re learning things. I closed down my Repair Business back in 2008 and since then I have lost touched with everything electronics and all the latest innovations. Gabriella was happy to catch the plane to come and see you. And a very Happy Birthday!!
Hi Paul,
Gabriella !!
Following your whole series of newer Arduino tutorials, just finished No 36 (tilt Switch).
I always watch them to the end, I have about a 50% success rate with the assignments.
You have got the mix of practical and theory just about right in my opinion.
Gabriella. I have been watching till the end every single one since the beginning. You have been a godsend good sir. I highly appreciate all the effort you put into these tutorials, it is not lost on us. You are a truly exceptional teacher and a delight to watch and learn from.
Gabriella.
Been watching all your videos beginning to end at work on my breaks. Then when I have time at home, I redo them again step by step. Great videos sir! Learning so much.
Gabriella. I recommend all of your video tutorials to anyone who asks me where to learn arduino, pi, fusion360, or python.
"Gabriella !"
Awesome videos by the way! After only a few days of owning the Elegoo kit, I made it to lesson 36 and was able to do the homework, and it worked! I'm super happy :) Thank you!
Hello again Paul. Now that I have completed the project and watched the end of the lecture it is time to mention Gabriella. I have watched all of your videos, some more than once.
I have completed all the projects, got many of them right, made mistakes on others, but learned something and had fun with all of them.
I see that you have many other courses, enough to keep me busy for a long time. It is hard to imagine all the work it took to produce them.
I really like the spontaneous feel, like one is working along with you at the same time, and your sense of humor is spectacular. Now on to lesson 38, 39, …….
Tony
Done the assignment by myself after pausing the video. Got it right in the first shot itself. Really had fun!!!😃😃😄
I made it to the end and did the homework on my own. Gabriella. Grandchildren are the best.
Awwww Gabriella looks cute
Happy birthday Paul!
I just made a robot the other day that follows light. Nope, I did not copy anyone’s code. I did it myself. Thank you
i figured out the error and homework by myself, i also used the mini breadboard for the tilt switch so i could move it with out reducing the visibility of the leds. gravrela
ive been enjoying your tutorials. they are among the most comprehensive ive seen on TH-cam. ive been able to complete most of a pet project with your series.
Gabriella. Thanks for putting this series together. I'm an Assistive Technologist for students with disabilities and I'm just starting down the Auduino path so I can make more customized and sensitive switches for the students I work with.
Hey Mr.Paul! Another glorious video tutorial. I am very grateful for the hard work that you put into these amazing tutorials. Keep up the good work! Gabriella looks excited!
-STILL not Carole, just her son.
Belated “Happy Birthday”! Another great tutorial. Gabriella.
Today's homework was much easier to complete without instruction. And it was your birthday! Lucky man to have such a beautiful grand-daughter! Thanks for another great lesson.
Seeing the children healthy and Happy is the best birthday gift ever! Happy Birthday and Gabriella looks so happy.
Really wish I had you as a teacher when i was in school, I might have just paid more attention.
Made it to the end ans saw "Gabriella"; see much more than 3 minutes worth.
I also used else instead of 2 if's on this. I jump back into your lessons to check things as I'm doing my homework (sometimes for only a few minutes, as you say), because I started your most excellent tutorials only 2 months ago, following my 80th birthday Arduino gift, and my brain velocity is much lower than it was 60 years ago! Also in this project i stuck my tilt switch to my stepper motor cardboard arrow (motor fixed vertically), connected using a pair of female/male wires. It switches the red/green LED's, but also controls the stepper motor direction, clock/anticlockwise, like a wiper blade. Thanks for your really excellent lessons Mr Paul. I used to live in Addis Ababa, love Africa and its wonderful people! Hi Gabriella !!
3 years late but Happy Birthday!!
Also Gabriella looks like an angel.
I thing you are the sweetest and coolest grandpa that everybody would want
i use this tilt switch with a 555 timer to light an led and installed in a house shoe so I can see at night if I have to get up.
the 3 dislikes are the people who dont like coding
What is there to dislike? I don't get it.
Hi Paul. I’m just another old dog trying to learn some new tricks. You are a great teacher. Thanks for your generosity of spirit.
Glad to help
Many Happy Returns Paul, made it to the end AND made it work! Granddaughters are precious, enjoy your time with Gabriella.
Gabriella! I watch all your lessons to the end. Don't want to miss a second of them.
Thanks, Paul. My Maths is actually non-existent so I'm very slow at working these things out. But trying a new thing in my late 60's gives me a new challenge in life. Welcome to Africa. I see you've now re-located. Very Brave at your age, but obviously Higher Hands are leading you. And Gabriella is a sweetie. So Cute.
Thanks Paul, your tutorials are the right length, and you explain so well!! I did the HW, and it worked perfect because your prior lessons are very clear and building on previous stuff that has a nice flow to it. You have a beautiful grand-daughter Gabriella. God Bless you and your family.
And may God richly bless you as well.
Gabriella! Always watch the whole video, always do my homework and save all the code. I have learnt so much watching these tutorials and really enjoyed it! Now over halfway through the series and don’t want them to end !!
Awesome! Thank you!
Gabriella!! I'm a computer science student who has a passion for building things with my hands, your tutorials have been awesome and I'm really thankful for this series!
Gabriella!!
I'm very glad with this exercise because it was not very difficult, so I made it exactly as you did explained it later in de video.
I'm following the complete Arduino tutorials because they are so well made and you are such a great teacher. In fact I watch the most tutorials several times to understand what is happening. And I do all the homework but not always with succes, some are very difficult (like the steppermotor tutorial).
Again, thank you very much for this great series of Arduino tutorials!!
Gabriela great 👍 Video made it to the end. Did the home work by my self. Each video I'm feeling more confident in these projects thank you.
Thank you very much, Paul. That is because you are printing the pin not the value you just read. Thank you for your trick. You are a wonderful instructor.
Gabriellaaaa!!! Not only did I watch all your videos from start to end, I have watched some videos twice. You are a good teacher.
Thank you so much!!
Gabriella! And yes, I was able to figure out how to set up and program the LEDs with the tilt switch without having to simply copy what you were doing... for once, haha! Hopefully that means I'm finally figuring this stuff out. This was a great tutorial, and I'm looking forward to watching the next one.
At the start of the video I paused and built the entire thing and got it to work by myself!
I watched to the end and did my own coding!! Thanks for your help. I hope you had a great time with Gabriella as she was coming to see you. Grandkids are great!!!!!
Gabriella! Thank you very much for the great lesson!
Also assignment was completed using while statements.
Gabriella! Got it by myself, thank you! Thinking of buying the kits for a nephew or two who might be interested in these videos, I know I love doing the lessons! Thanks for your time in doing these, I watch on my TV, but comment via the computer, that way I can keep my IDE area a little neater. Sorry to hear people watch for so short a time, they could learn so much if they took the time to do so!
I'm watching Paul!. Enjoying the series so far. I also made it to the end, as I have with all your videos.
Gabriella looks like a bundle of joy! I saw the mistake as you were typing it. Still need to wrap my head around the toggle switch logic, but was able to do the homework just fine. Thanks for the effort you give in sharing this knowledge. We are truly blessed to be able to learn this because of beautiful people like yourself!
happy birthday Mr. McWhorter, you absolute legend!
GAVRIELLA ....
This Homework was cleared fast
😀 thanks Paul. I have been watching all your videos to the end. Most times I replay as many times as possible to understand the concepts. Especially the ''PUSH BUTTON AS TOGGLE'' lesson.😄
Welcome Gavriella. Love the grandkids. I am doing every homework assignment and watching every video to the very end. I must admit that sometimes the assignments take me quite a while to figure out. This one was very simple though. Thanks again for the amazing way you are teaching. I have learned so much and I intend on watching every video of this series and plan to watch your other videos as well.
Gabriella, I am very appreciative of your easy to follow and understand lessons. I'm in my seventies and doing Arduino for the first time.
Wonderful!
Mr.Paul, I have done it , circuit is perfectly working. Thank you.
Gabriella! Did the homework on this one, just used Else{ instead of the second if. Same result. Thanks Paul👍
All the info you put into your videos; does NOT go to waste with this student
Gabriella, great video Paul I am very happy that I am going through these lessons. I am learning alot.
Thanks Paul always watch to the end, no problem with homework, the difference was I used the else statement rather than second If statement. Looking forward to future lessons.
Hi Paul, I think your lessons are great. I have had some programming in C about 25 years ago and it seems to be like riding a bike, most of it came back. Thanks for the videos, having a great time with my Arduino.
Great to hear!
Happy Birthday. God bless Gavrialla. I do not know how many times I watch your video to understand your project. Every time a new thing comes out to me. Your debugging process is wonderful. It helps students where they are made mistake. Today I learn why I put TiltVal in place of TiltPin into serial.println because we already have tiltPin=2. I know it easy for everyone to undetstand but it is really difficult in past to me but today my legendary teacher Paul all clear to me. Thanks for everything Paul. God bless you.
Gabriela. I watched until the end. I was able to complete the assessment myself, I think it was easy as I had watched all your videos previously.
This was fun. I taught this to my 4 boys and wife. It was fun letting them hold the tilt switch. I asked them what they felt. It was fun to see them enjoy learning. 4, 6, 8, and 10 are the ages of my boys. This is so wonderful to take the code and to the physical world. It is fun thinking about what projects we can do with all that you have taught me. My boys have ideas of what we can do together. Look forward to paying it forward to my boys and may a school someday!
We started with an experiment from the Feynman Physics lectures/exercises this morning and then did this.
Wow -- how blessed I am to study Physics with Feynman and Computer Science with you Mr. McWhorter!!!
Great that you are making this investment in your boys. Well done!
GABRIELLA, I just want to say THANK YOU for all your videos. Yes, I watch them to the end, and then go back and pice-meal them into the code project i'm working on. Oh... and no, I don't do my homework. I take a coffe break with you. Thanks again for all that you do.
Gabriella..... took a few months off due to other commitments. But was able to easily do this on my own. Really like these videos. I am finally understanding how all this works.
Many happy belated birthdays Paul! Thank you for the great lessons!
Also, I enjoy the mini lessons on the inner workings of the components. You're very right, someone has to know how to do the math!
Another great lesson Paul. Gabriella must have been happy to see you when she arrived. I have been in enough college classes to appreciate the value of homework. This project wasn't that hard given the similarity to the previous switch lessons. Thanks again!!
Don't understand why people wouldn't finish the videos, but I like to understand how things work. Make it to the end every time, I thought that was the point. Did the homework on my own the same way you did, I think I'm starting to get this stuff. "Gabriella". Thanks for the videos Paul!
GABRIELLA! loving the projects as i work through them, as a mechanical design engineer the mysterious world of electronics is fascinating and getting the magic to happen with each lesson is brilliant, thanks for creating these tutorials. April 23
Lovely smile Gabriella! And happy birthday Paul!
Excellent video Paul, thanks. My project, when I get there will need tilt switches.
Gabriella
Happy Birthday!!!!
made it through and seen your error. its getting pretty easy now. excited for shifts and registers
Gabriella, I have watched the complete tutorial sir. Really, learning a lot. Thank you Sir.
❤
I always make it to the end even if I have the video two or three times (Your benefit Paul) and I worked out the fault that was in there before you showed it! Im so pleased with myself! GiddyUp Gabrielle!! Thanks Paul.
I'm happy to admit that going through these lessons that I have printed the pin rather than val many, MANY times.
Gabriella!!
easy lesson today, also added an active buzzer with the tilt.
The first one I figure out on my own!!!! Thanks for this series, I am learning a lot! Gabriela....
Yes, I got to the end and completed the homework before watching how you did it. Am enjoying all your videos. Gabrielle.
Gabriela. I made it to the end and was able to do the assignment. Thank you
Hi Gabriella, Mr. Paul has taught me a lot and am very grateful so give him lots more applause
Gabriella! Not a single second is wasted by skipping it. I have very limited time during the day because of work+parenting, but I am here to learn, not to memorise some stuff for a day or two. Hoping one day I'll tell/show someone what I learned, so I gotta be prepared :) Thanks a lot
Gabriella! Was able to do the homework on my own. Just proof of how awesome of a teacher you are! Keep it up Paul!!
Great job!
Gabriella, Paul we getting there and loving it every minute and learnning new things all the time, Thank you.
GABRIELLA is precious!! Truly a gift from God!! :-) I can't believe average view time of your videos is only 3 minutes!! WOW!! I find myself anxious for more!! Can't wait to start the next lesson! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL!! (late by a few years sorry)
Thanks Paul. Worked through it on my own. Gabriella!
Gabriela
I watch your videos all times to the end thank you for your time
Gabriella. Happy Birthday Paul! I had the code exactly right, except I put a semi-colon after the “if (tiltVal==1)”. Made for a dim green LED.
Watched till the end Paul. Happy Birthday even though it is 18months later!! Did the project on my own and you confirmed it. Use an "else" instead of the 2 if statememts but basically the same. Not sure if your grandaughter is Gabriella as most are saying but the video seems you are saying Gavriella....
As a grandad myself I hope you had a Fantastic visit.. Brilliant work. Keep on just the way you are doing these video's.
Just found you, looking for tilt use.
Great stuff. Subscribed, and going back to beginning.
Gabriella!!! And belated happy birthday!! Great tutorial Paul. Simple homework which I readily achieved. Thank you. You are the best!
Gabriella! For your information, I was proud to succeed the homework ! Thanks for all !
Gabrielle. Nice easy homework that made me feel better after not being able to complete the last one! (Stepper Motor). Thanks Paul 👍
Happy Birthday Paul!! --Gabriella--
As soon as I heard "pause this video" I immediately went ahead and did the homework.
I've been absolutely loving this course. i do like 10+ videos per day. love doing the homework and figuring all this out myself after your explanation! Gabriella~
Great to hear!
Gabrialla, I did the home work and the mistake on my own. Awesome lesson, keep it up.
Happy Birthday Paul! Wish you a very happy life!
Gabriela!!
Dear Paul, Thank you for the nice and effective tutorial!
Your tutorial helped me to do the assignment on my own .
Thanks, post-Happy B-day! As a fun challenge I made the code so that it allowed vibration using two variables. The first was an average of 30 shorts or open circuits using a for loop. This produced either an int of one, or a float less than one. The other was produced with an if statement that counted the number of consecutive averaged ones (shorted states/cycles). So if 20 consecutive averaged ones were counted then it would allow the shorted state of one to pass through the if statement and trigger the light (if (ave=1 && count > 20) etc...). I based this by vigorously shaking it, which usually triggered 4-15 consecutive averaged ones. If I tipped it over, then it instantly (to the natural eyes) counts 20+ consecutive averaged ones (or shorts), and it gets triggered.
Happy Birthday Mr Paul, seeing the video 2 years after you posted it and coincidentally on your birthday date 🙂. You are an excellent mentor so can't miss any part of the video and yes saw Gabriella !!!!
I know i miss it on 2019 but ur 2021 birthday will be after 2 months so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Gabriella !! and have watched all ur tutorials from start to finish and i will keep watch till last one
This wasn't the first time that I have attempted the homework but it was the first time that I successfully completed it without having to cheat. Thank you for all your work.
Love this course! And yes did my homework and watch til the end. I bet Gabriella is having her own Arduino kit by now. Cheers!
Still loving it thanks and best to you and Gabriella!
