A sensor for use in an interactive electronic device. The sensor is
operative to generate a plurality of different output signals
corresponding to respective positions of the sensor relative to a
reference plane. The movement of the sensor relative to the reference
plane facilitates the movement of one or more actuation balls of
respective switches of the sensor, which in turn results in the
generation of differing conditions or output signals corresponding to the
particular pattern of electrical or conductive connection between a pad
and terminals of the sensor facilitated by the switches thereof.
