 Bigger Bigger Smaller Smaller Reset Reset
The tilt switch included in my kit has really short pins. Due to this, I can't seem to get the switch to stay on the breadboard. Anyone else have this issue or have an idea how I can get around this?

Thanks!

solder them to longer wires or header pins

You can use just two of the pins and leave the other two in the gap down the middle of the breadboard. This holds the tilt switch firmly in place, although it will be causing a little stress on the component.
