BuiltByTyler Sensor Kit - S14 TILT (Ball tilt switch)
Board: ESP32-WROOM-32 DevKit V1 (30-pin), Arduino-ESP32 core 3.x, "ESP32 Dev Module"
Prints upright / tilted. Upright = switch closed = OUT HIGH;
tipped past ~45 degrees = OUT LOW.
Wiring (module pin -> ESP32 pin):
GND -> GND
VCC -> 3V3
OUT -> GPIO 4
Library: none needed
Serial Monitor: 115200 baud
