Programming

The program below uses the tilt sensor to control the LED.

Sample code：

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">

int ledPin = 13; // Connect LED to pin 13 int switcher = 3; // Connect Tilt sensor to Pin3

void setup() {

 pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // Set digital pin 13 to output mode
 pinMode(switcher, INPUT);       // Set digital pin 3 to input mode

} void loop() {

  if(digitalRead(switcher)==HIGH) //Read sensor value
    { 
       digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // Turn on LED when the sensor is tilted
    }
  else
    {
       digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // Turn off LED when the sensor is not triggered
    }

}
