The KY-017 Mercury Sensor Module is a sensor module that uses a mercury switch to detect physical movement or tilt. When the module is tilted, the mercury inside the sensor moves, triggering a change in the circuit and providing an output signal. This module is ideal for use in tilt detection applications, such as in vibration or position sensing systems, security devices, and other interactive electronics. The KY-017 is often used in DIY projects that require tilt or motion detection with a simple and reliable sensor.
- Mercury Switch: Uses a mercury switch to detect tilt or movement by measuring the change in mercury position.
- Simple Integration: Easily integrates with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for tilt detection in various systems.
- Low Power Consumption: Designed for low-power applications, suitable for battery-operated systems.
- Compact Design: Small and easy to incorporate into space-constrained projects and systems.
