Description:

The Magic Light Cup Module features an LED and a mercury tilt switch on a single board. By using PWM to control the LEDs, you can create the illusion of light being “magically” transferred between modules when they are tilted. Essentially, this module combines two components: a mercury tilt switch and an LED.

When the module is tilted, the mercury inside the tube connects the switching point, turning the switch ON. Tilting it to the other side causes the mercury to move, disconnecting the circuit and turning the switch OFF. The module operates on a 5V DC supply.

The “magic” aspect of this module lies in the way the LED turns ON and OFF with the tilt of the switch. It can also be easily connected to a NodeMCU for additional functionality.

Pin Connection with Arduino:

G: GND
+: 5V DC
S: Arduino pin 8
L: Arduino pin 9

Pin Connection with NodeMCU:

Connect G to a GND port of your NodeMCU
Connect + to a 3.3V port of your NodeMCU
Connect S to a digital port on your NodeMCU (example: port D3)
Connect L to a digital port on your NodeMCU (example: port D5)

Connection Diagram:

In this Arduino sketch, we’ll use two switching modules to create the magic light cup effect. The mercury switches in each module provide a digital signal that is used to regulate the brightness of the LEDs using PWM. Tilting the modules will decrease the brightness on one module while increasing it on the other one, creating the illusion of light magically passing from one module to the other.

int ledPinA = 9;
int switchPinA = 8;
int switchStateA = 0;
int ledPinB = 6;
int switchPinB = 7;
int switchStateB = 0;
int brightness   = 0;

void setup() 
{
  pinMode(ledPinA, OUTPUT); 
  pinMode(ledPinB, OUTPUT);  
  pinMode(switchPinA, INPUT); 
  pinMode(switchPinB, INPUT);
}

void loop() 
{
  switchStateA = digitalRead(switchPinA);
  if (switchStateA == HIGH && brightness != 255)
  { 
   brightness   ;
  } 
  switchStateB = digitalRead(switchPinB);
  if (switchStateB == HIGH && brightness != 0)
  { 
   brightness --;
  } 
  analogWrite(ledPinA, brightness);  //  A slow fade out
  analogWrite(ledPinB, 255 - brightness);  // B slow bright up
  delay(20);
}
