Functional description
The Tilt sensor generates tilt information in X and Y direction.
• Circular vessel filled with silicon oil.
• Optics to collimate light beam inside the oil and focusing the light source onto the image sensor.
• Point LED and CMOS area sensor.
• Electronic board for calculation and communication to MCB board.
The Coarse tilt sensor generates tilt information in X and Y direction.
• Coarse tilt sensor as Electronic component on SCH board.
