1. Overview
The tilt sensor is adopted to the anti-theft alarm project.
When object (such as a door or a window) tilts or moves, the ball rolls due to gravity to trigger the switch, which in turn activates the alarm system, such as a buzzer or LED indicator.
With simple structure, convenient installation and adjustable sensitivity, it is suitable for anti-theft alarm in home, office and shop doors, which effectively improves the security defence capability to detect and prevent potential intrusions in time.

/*
Project name: 16_Tilt_Alarm
Function: Monitor whether the plane is tilted, if yes, red LED on and the buzzer alarms, if not, the green LED on and the buzzer does not sound
Author: keyestudio
Hardware connection:
- Connect tilt senser to port 2
- Connect traffic light module to port 9
- Connect buzzer to port 3
Library:
- none (no need to import additional library)
Cautions:
- Make sure you are connected to the correct interface
- Before uploading test code, please correctly connect to the development board and port

5. Test Result
After uploading the test code, when there is no tilt, the LED on the tilt sensor and the green LED turn on, and the sound sensor stays quiet. When tilt is detected, the LED on the tilt module is off, and the red LED is on, and the sound sensor emit sound.
