Code

int ledPin = 13;                // Connect LED to pin 13
int switcher = 3;                 // Connect Tilt sensor to Pin3

void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // Set digital pin 13 to output mode
pinMode(switcher, INPUT);       // Set digital pin 3 to input mode
}
void loop()
{

if(digitalRead(switcher)==LOW) //Read sensor value
    {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // Turn on LED when the sensor is tilted
    }
else
    {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // Turn off LED when the sensor is not triggered
    }
}
