Hi Scott,

I think the datasheet does not state the sense level of +-15 degrees. Both
the transistor will be ON at +15 and -15 degrees. If the degree of tilting
continue to be increase, one of the transistor will have be in undefine
state. And that undefine state will continue until it reaches 75 degrees,
where it will be in the OFF state.

I didn't get what i been looking for   ...(a cheap tilt sensor), but at
least this is getting very near to the spec that i want. If only there is a
similar component with a slightly better angle characteristics. :-)

Best rgds,
pang
