Gravity: LED Switch x 5 Pack

The Gravity: LED Switch x 5 Pack features five illuminated, self-locking digital pushbuttons with transparent caps in red, yellow, green, blue, and white. Designed for makers, students, and educators, these switches provide clear visual status feedback for micro:bit and microcontroller projects. They are ideal for building custom input interfaces, backlit keyboards, and interactive control panels.

Visual feedback with illuminated caps

Each switch features a transparent cap that lights up when pressed, providing immediate visual feedback for your projects. The pack includes five vibrant colours to help organise functions across custom panels and keyboards.

Wide coding platform compatibility

These modules support popular coding environments including Microsoft MakeCode, Mind+, and the Arduino IDE. This multi-platform support makes them suitable for classroom learning as well as advanced prototyping.

Graphical programming with Mind+

The switches integrate with Mind+ graphical programming software for quick drag-and-drop setup. Learners can read button states and create interactive feedback routines with minimal code.

MakeCode support for micro:bit

Connect these switches directly into micro:bit projects using Microsoft MakeCode block programming. They allow students to control music playback, display sequences, and custom inputs with physical switches.

Arduino IDE implementation

Straightforward digital read commands in the Arduino IDE make monitoring button states fast and reliable. Example sketches show how to handle input transitions across compatible microcontroller boards.

Five distinct colours and stickers

The set includes five individual switches in red, green, white, yellow, and blue. Two included sticker sheets allow you to label functions for custom recording consoles, music players, and backlit keypads.

Standard Gravity 3-pin interface

Each 27 by 26.5mm switch module uses a PH2.0-3P Gravity connector for secure, plug-and-play wiring. They operate on a working voltage of 3.3V to 5V, with 3.3V recommended for standard operation.

Self-locking digital output logic

Each switch features a mechanical self-lock action that maintains state after release. Pressing the button latches it down, outputs a digital HIGH signal, and keeps the LED lit; pressing it again outputs a LOW signal and turns the LED off.
