tilt switch report 4 directions

[Keith Sloan]

Anybody point me in the direction of a tilt switch that has the following

1) Way of determining direction of tilt - 4 directions.

2) Low value for tilt like only a degree or two rather than 17 degrees as is
common.

Thanks Keith

Analog devices has some nice accelerometers ( adxl2xxxx) that can easily be
configured for your requirement( been there done that) or you can go the
cheapy route and 'cage a ball' like he pinball machines have.

Suggest you look into electrolytic sensors as well as other options
that have been suggested.
