Circuit Monday # 2 Tilt switch

This week circuit is a tilt switch circuit that can be used I many different ways. I have been prototyping a few different layouts which you will soon see .

Components needed

                 
                                     Buzzer                                                          220 ohms resistor                                                              
                   

                                   
                                          Led                                                                   Tilt switch                                                

Setup

this is a very simple circuit to setup

 Step 1 attached the tilt switch to the + rail on the board and the other end to an empty row .

 Step 2 attach the 220 resistor to the same row as the tilt switch and the other end to a empty row

 step 3 A attach the anode side of the led to the resistor and the cathode to the - rail using a jumper wire

Step 3 B instead of using an led use a buzzer for a audible  circuit

How it works

there is a small ball inside the tilt switch which can be set to complete the circuit in two ways the first being if the circuit is tipped or tilted the power is cut thus turning the led off  and the second being if the circuit is tipped or tilted the power is allowed to flow thus completing the circuit and causing the led to come on or the buzzer to sound .

Fritzing layouts

Here is the Fritzing layouts 

Hope you like this circuit and I will bring you another next Monday
