Boson - Tilt Sensor - Input

The Boson Tilt Sensor detects angular movement and responds when the module is tilted in any direction. This dynamic sensor adds an exciting layer of motion detection to student projects, allowing learners to build responsive and movement-based systems. It helps introduce key STEM concepts such as input sensitivity, acceleration, orientation, and real-time feedback. With easy integration, this module inspires learners to experiment with motion in creative, interactive ways.

Educational Benefits:

• Encourages understanding of orientation and spatial awareness.
• Introduces motion-triggered event programming.
• Strengthens engagement through responsive feedback systems.
• Supports learning about sensors used in robotics and mobile tech.
• Fosters creativity and experimentation in electronics.

Classroom Ideas:

• Create a light that turns on only when the sensor is tilted.
• Program a music note to play based on tilt direction.
• Use in a game where tilting the board moves a virtual object.
• Design a wearable project that responds to body movement.
• Build a model vehicle that changes direction based on tilt.

Product Specifications:

• Motion-sensitive input module that detects tilt.
• Colour-coded blue for input classification.
• Uses 3-pin cable connection - no soldering.
• Attaches magnetically or with LEGO/screw-compatible plates.
• Integrates with micro:bit and Arduino boards.
• Supports Scratch, MakeCode, JavaScript, Python, and C languages.
