Tilt Sensor - AT407

This AT407 basic tilt switch can easily be used to detect orientation. Inside the can is a ball that makes contact with the pins when the case is upright. Tilt the case over and the balls don\'t touch, thus not making a connection.

There are numerous uses for these basic sensors, but keep in mind you might need to use some [debouncing code](http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Debounce), as the sensor isn't immune to small vibrations and such.
