GForce2D&Tilt2D v1.0 (obsolete)

Senses acceleration (or deceleration) and inclination in two dimensions simultaneously. For the acceleration sensing part, attach it to Whirling Dervishes, kinetic sculptures or Fido as he chases the neighborhood cat. It's a visually exciting sensor ! Can be held in the palm of your hand. For the tilt sensing function, attach this sensor to your head to find out if you still can walk straight saturday night at 4 am (or whether you're actually balancing on your head) ! Detects upto ±2 G acceleration and a full 360° in two tilt axes.

Technical specifications

Product GForce2D&Tilt2D sensor
Version 1.0 (May 2002)
Sensing parameter dual-axis acceleration, inclination
Sensing method piezo-electric
Acceleration range ± 2 G
Acceleration resolution 2.5 mG (at 100 Hz vibration)
Acceleration calibration (output 1 or 2)
G Voltage (use 5 V power supply) 7-bit MIDI value (use 'no processing' editor preset)
-2 0.00 0
0 2.52 64
+2 5.0 127
Acceleration application notes
  1. With the cables facing yourself, the left cable is output 1 and the right cable is output 2.
  2. Output 1 corresponds with acceleration perpendicular to the long side of the sensor, while output 2 corresponds with acceleration in the direction of the long side of the sensor.
  3. Rotating the sensor around either of the two sensitive axes will change the 0 G output value corresponding to the inclination or tilt of the sensor, see inclination application notes.
  4. Warning ! Make sure the sensor is plugged into the Digitizer with the red wire connected to power. Reversing the plug may cause damage to the sensor.
Inclination range -180° to +180°
Inclination calibration (output 1 or 2)
Degrees Voltage (use 5 V power supply) 7-bit MIDI value (use 'no processing' editor preset)
-90 2.17 55
0 2.52 64
+90 2.87 73
Inclination application notes
  1. With the cables facing yourself, the left cable is output 1 and the right cable is output 2.
  2. Output 1 corresponds with inclination perpendicular to the long side of the sensor (ie. rotation about the long side of the sensor), while output 2 corresponds with inclination in the direction of the long side of the sensor (ie. rotation about the short side of the sensor).
  3. Motion other than rotation (as a result of inclination or tilt) in either of the two sensitive axes may generate sensor output corresponding to the acceleration of the motion, see acceleration application notes.
  4. Warning ! Make sure the sensor is plugged into the Digitizer with the red wire connected to power. Reversing the plug may cause damage to the sensor.
Cross-axis sensitivity ± 2 %
Bandwidth 6 KHz
Power supply 2.7 to 5.25 V DC, 1mA
Operating temperature 0° to 70° C (32° to 158° F)
Sensor dimensions 50 x 14 x 5 mm (2.0 x 0.55 x 0.20 inch), incl. two 3 mm (0.12 inch) mounting holes spaced 30 mm (1.2 inch) apart
Weight 25 g (0.9 oz), incl. cable
Cable 2 x 0.90 m (35 inch), twisted, unshielded, red wire = power, black wire = ground, white wire = sensor output
Connector male plug with 3 pins in a row spaced 2.54 mm (0.100 inch)
Application examples Hand motion and jolt, jerk or impact detection, balance
