That should be trivial. I've used one of those mercury-bubble-in-a-glass-tube switches from a thermostat in a model railroad application before. Check (URL) for the story and a picture.

Ayyone made a tilt sensor yet out of an old switch or an old thermostat? It wouldn't be a linear function. It would be like a touch sensor, reporting if the tilt angle was reached. Just an idea.... (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
