Intro: Digital Tilt Sensor (Arduino Compatible)

Sensors are the best thing to get started with DIY electronics, you can get a wide variety of sensors, each suitable for one or more tasks. The arduino is compatible with a variety of sensors and I'm going to show you how to build different sensors to use with the arduino boards.

To start of with I'm going to show you how to build a tilt sensor, as the name suggests the sensor detects when it is tilted beyond a certain angle.

Step 1: Tools and Components

Here is what you need to get started with this instructable.

Tilt Switch
LM358 IC
10k Pot
LED
330 ohm resistor
PCB
Connecting Wires
5v Power supply
Soldering Iron
Soldering Wire
Soldering Flux
Multimeter (Optional)

Step 2: Circuit

The circuit is simple and used a tilt switch and an LM358, the tilt switch is what senses the angle and the LM358 is used to generate a digital signal which can be fed to the arduino. Also the LM358 has a voltage range of 3 to 32V which can easily be powered by the 5V regulated power supply of the arduino.

The 10k pot can be used to change the sensitivity of the circuit, if the LED turns on even without a change in angle you can can change the value of the pot to get the right threshold.

Step 3: Going Further

After you have tested out the circuit on a breadboard next you can build a PCB out of it, there are two ways you can do that one would be to build a arduino shield and another would be to make tiny PCBs that could plug into a breadboard a arduino prototype shield.

In the next ible of the series I would show you how to build a touch sensor.

Alcohol Sensor

POWER77 Tech Electronic Project Alcohol Level Meter using Arduino & MQ-135 Alcohol/Gas Sensor Introduction In this project we have designed Alcohol Level Meter using Arduino & MQ-135 Alcohol/Gas Sensor for measuring the level of alcohol in human breathe. Simply we have interfaced MQ-135 Gas Sensor module with Arduino and 16*2 LCD module for display. The alcohol/Gas sensor we used is the MQ-135 sensor. This is a sensor that is not only sensitive to alcohol, particularly ethanol, which is the type of alcohol which is found in wine, beer, and liquor. Instead of MQ-135, you can use MQ2, MQ3, MQ5 module as well. Basically they all have similar functions. This type of sensor circuit can be used as a breathalyzer to check a person’s blood alcohol level. Just as we exhale carbon dioxide when we breathe out, we also will breathe out some alcohol if we have alcohol in our blood. Any alcometer device can measure this alcohol content. The mo...
