Crowtail- Tilt Switch

Description

The Crowtail- Tilt Switch is the equivalent of a button, and is used as a digital input. Inside the tilt switch is a pair of balls that make contact with the pins when the case is upright. Tilt the case over and the balls don't touch, thus not making a connection.
