Vibration Switch

Shake it, tilt it, or tap it this board puts a cylindrical roll-ball vibration switch on a compact 22 × 22 mm PCB so your project can sense motion without MEMS sensors or ADC maths. Inside the sealed metal can a loose steel ball shorts two electrodes whenever the board is jostled (roughly ±15 ° from level or any sharp knock). An on-board 10 kΩ pull-up and 0.1 µF RC filter with a series 100Ω resistor, gives a microcontroller a debounced, logic-level pulse that’s readable on a single GPIO pin. Drop it into any backplane and you’ve added wake-on-shake, knock detection, or simple orientation sensing in one shot whether you’re coding in the Arduino IDE, MicroPython, or MicroBlocks. Use it standalone with any microcontroller, or snap it into the Genesis Modular system from Axiometa for plug-and-play integration. Works with Arduino IDE, MicroPython, or MicroBlocks.
