Description

The Magic Cup Tilt Switch Sensor Module is a basic sensing board designed for orientation detection. Its core component is a sealed glass tube containing a small amount of conductive mercury. When the module is tilted beyond a specific angle, the mercury flows to one end, bridging two internal contacts and closing the switch circuit, outputting a HIGH signal. Tilting it back opens the circuit, resulting in a LOW signal.

This digital output is read by a microcontroller via the signal (S) pin, while the onboard LED (L) pin allows for direct PWM-driven brightness control or simple on/off indication. The module’s straightforward interface and low power consumption make it suitable for introductory electronics and prototyping, enabling projects like interactive toys, simple leveling devices, or tilt-activated triggers.

Key Features

  • Mercury-based tilt switch for reliable contact closure upon orientation change.
  • Integrated indicator LED for immediate visual state confirmation.
  • Standard 0.1" pin header with GND, VCC, Signal, and LED control pins.
  • Compact and lightweight PCB design for easy integration into projects.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for educational and hobbyist applications.

Applications

  • Tilt-activated alarms or security triggers for enclosures.
  • Educational demonstrations of basic switch logic and digital input reading.
  • Interactive art installations or games requiring simple orientation input.
  • Basic leveling indicator for prototyping or DIY tools.
  • Simple state detection in model robotics or RC vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this tilt sensor module?

The module is designed to operate from 3.3V to 5V DC. You can power it directly from the 5V pin of an Arduino or the 3.3V pin of a NodeMCU/ESP32. Ensure your power supply is within this range to prevent damage.

How do I connect and read the tilt state with an Arduino?

Connect the module's G pin to GND, + to 5V, and S (signal) to a digital input pin on the Arduino (e.g., pin 8). In your code, set the pin as INPUT and use digitalRead() to monitor its state. The pin will read HIGH when tilted (switch closed) and LOW when level (switch open).

Can I control the onboard LED independently of the tilt switch?

Yes. The L pin is dedicated to the onboard LED. Connect it to a PWM-capable digital output pin on your microcontroller. You can drive it with analogWrite() on Arduino for brightness control, or use digitalWrite() for simple on/off operation, regardless of the tilt switch's state.

Is the mercury inside the tilt switch hazardous?

The mercury is sealed within a glass tube. The module is safe for normal handling and use in projects. However, avoid physically breaking the module. If the glass tube cracks, dispose of the module responsibly according to local regulations for electronic waste containing mercury.
