How to Measure Tilt Angle Using a SCA60C Angle Sensor and Take Action Based on the Angle

Using this Arduino code and SCA60C tilt angle sensor, we can measure the angle of a robotic arm or element. This code is a variation of the main code here, where you can use this to take action; for example, turn something ON or OFF, or do something when the angle is equal to, less than, or greater than some value.

Turning ON or OFF a buzzer or relay at a certain angle:

We define an Arduino pin as OUTPUT where the relay or buzzer is connected. We call that pin controlPin and have a variable for the desired angle where we take action. We call it myAngle, which holds the angle. We can set a time when the Arduino takes action to turn the buzzer or relay ON or OFF; we can keep it in that state for a certain time, and we call it waitTime. The wait time is in milliseconds. For 3 seconds, we enter 3000, for example. If we do not want any delay, then we enter zero.
