Keyestudio Magic light cup module compatible with Arduino

The Keyestudio Magic light cup module is an interactive sensor kit designed to demonstrate PWM dimming and tilt-based control. Perfect for students, educators, and Arduino hobbyists, this module allows you to simulate the effect of pouring light from one cup to another. It provides a hands-on way to learn about digital inputs and analogue-style outputs in physical computing.

Interactive PWM dimming control

The module operates on the principle of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to dynamically adjust brightness. By programming two of these modules together, you can create a visual effect where light appears to flow from one cup to another.

Integrated mercury tilt sensor

An onboard mercury switch detects changes in tilt angle to provide a digital signal. This trigger is used by your microcontroller to initiate the PWM dimming sequence, linking physical movement to light output.

Seamless Arduino integration

Designed to interact directly with Arduino development boards, this module is fully compatible with standard Arduino software. It serves as an excellent practical project for learning how to code interactive sensor responses.

Flexible operating voltage

The module supports a supply voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, making it compatible with a wide variety of microcontrollers. It utilises a digital interface for straightforward wiring and integration into your projects.
