Tilt to 'pour' the light
S=1 L=255S=0 fadingS=0 L=0S=1 L=255
Use two: 'pour' the light from one cup to the other by tilting. S = tilt state, L = PWM the LED.

BuiltByTyler Sensor Kit - S23 MAGIC CUP (Tilt switch + LED)
Board: ESP32-WROOM-32 DevKit V1 (30-pin), Arduino-ESP32 core 3.x, "ESP32 Dev Module"
One 'magic cup': upright, the LED fades up; tipped over, it fades out.
S = tilt switch (HIGH upright), L = LED (PWM). With two cups, wire the
second to other pins and fade one up while the other fades down.
Wiring (module pin -> ESP32 pin):
GND -> GND
VCC -> 3V3
S -> GPIO 4
L -> GPIO 18
Library: none needed
Serial Monitor: 115200 baud
