I wasn’t exactly sure what would make a good tilt switch. The majority of online videos and tutorials for tilt switches were either undocumented, mercury based, or actually accelerometers. Luckily I found these small steel hooyahs. I have no idea what they were actually designed for, but they make pretty handy little switches.

So, now I’ve decided to try my hand at this online video craze that’s leaving me behind, so peep the video for a simple demonstration of the tilt switches and try not to be too harsh.
