4-Direction Tilt Sensor

One metal roller in a square switch with four corner contacts, on a TinkerBlock board: tip an edge down and the roller joins that side's two lines. Your board finds which pair by holding one line LOW and reading who follows. Four answers and none, no angle, and four red LEDs that light when a line is held LOW.

Turn it over and see the six holes: GND, VCC and the four lines A to D, one per corner of the tilt switch. No line goes to GND, so a sketch scans them. Match VCC to your board.
