KARIBU CLOUD SENSORS
The SW-520D tilt sensor module detects angular changes and vibrations using a metal ball mechanism. It outputs a digital logic signal (HIGH/LOW) when tilted beyond a threshold, making it perfect for alarm systems, smart devices, and robotic applications[citation:1][citation:2].
