DFRobot Gravity: Digital Crash Sensor Right-Mounted Digital Crash Detection Sensor For Robotics And Automation Safety

Description:

This crash sensor module provides a robust and easily integrable solution for impact detection in Arduino and Micro: bit projects. It features a high-quality miniature snap-action switch, an electromechanical device characterized by its rapid contact closure upon the application of minimal physical force. Commonly known as a micro switch, these components are fundamental in numerous applications, including appliances, machinery, industrial automation, and automotive systems, primarily for control circuit operation. This module enhances usability through the onboard integration of a pull-up resistor and a visual status indicator LED, facilitating straightforward experimentation and implementation. The incorporated miniature snap-action switch with a roller lever offers increased adaptability for triggering in diverse mechanical configurations. Now with expanded compatibility for Micro: bit, this sensor presents a versatile option for a range of sensing and interactive designs.
